Triston McKenzie started his third game in the major league’s Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals. Continuing what has been an impressive start to his career, McKenzie pitched six shutout innings, leading the Indians to a 5-0 win in Kansas City.
The Indians started slow once again in the top of the first, as they went down in order to Royals’ starter Jakob Junis. In turn, McKenzie struck out two in the bottom as both offenses failed to mount anything.
With a hit in each of his last eight at-bats, Franmil Reyes got things started for the Indians in the second, a single to right field to continue his hot streak.
