Zach Plesac Pitches Well In Loss Monday
4 years agoCleveland Indians starting pitcher Zach Plesac (0-1) allowed three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out six over seven innings in a loss to the Reds on Monday. Plesac more than looked in control until the fourth inning. He gave up a homer to Nick Castellanos in the fourth and another to Joey Votto in the sixth to surrender the lead. He may not have a win to show for his efforts so far this season and Plesac did have an FIP pushing 5.00 last year, but a 17:1 K:BB in the early going suggests he's primed for a dramatic step forward. Up next is a road matchup against the White Sox. If he can continue to produce swings and misses, he's a worthy start in most formats going forward.
