"I felt better than a week's rest, I'll tell you that," said Keuchel. "I think with the command I need and the stuff I possess, I really feel like I'm better suited for shorter rest than longer rest, and I think a lot of those guys would say the same thing."
Over the course of three starts against the Yankees this season, Keuchel fired 22 innings without allowing a single run. The Yankees gave the ball to Tanaka, but the right-hander lasted just five innings, serving up a solo shot to Rasmus in the second inning and another to Gomez in the fourth.
