As early as May 2, Peacock‘s ERA was as high as 5.28. Ever since then, he’s been very efficient from the mound and has dropped that ERA down to 3.59. Last night’s two-hit performance is an example of how Peacock has settled back into his spot in the Astros‘ starting rotation.
He pitched five innings and got his third straight win with last night’s 3-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox. As stated earlier, but it bears repeating, Peacock only allowed two hits while striking out nine batters. He was keeping in the strike zone, throwing 59 strikes in 91 pitches and didn’t give up one walk, although he did hit two batters.
