In his return last week, he was phenomenal, throwing 6.1 shutout innings, including setting down the first 18 batters he faced and carrying a perfect game into the 7th inning.
The 24 year old righty has thrown 60.2 innings at the big league level this year, pitching to a 5-6 record with a 5.19 ERA. His FIP is right there as well, coming in at 5.21.
