Logan Allen has joined some impressive company with this start to his career in Cleveland.
Allen allowed three hits in seven outstanding innings, and the Guardians broke through for four runs in the seventh on their way to a 5-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. The rookie left-hander struck out a career-high 10 in his seventh big league start.
He's the second pitcher in franchise history to have eight-plus strikeouts in at least three of his first seven career games. Herb Score did it in five of his first seven.
“You want to see them pound the zone, not beat themselves, and just learn,” manager Terry Francona said.
