Keuchel earns second consecutive monthly honor

Keuchel and Johnson are the only pitchers in Astros history to win consecutive Pitcher of the Month awards.

During the month, Keuchel led the AL in innings pitched, ranked tied for first in complete games, tied for fourth in wins, eighth in strikeouts and ninth in ERA. He currently leads all Major League pitchers in innings pitched (81 2/3), ERA (1.76), opponents' average (.183) and ground-ball-to-fly-ball ratio (4.68), while ranking tied for second in the AL in wins (7).

The 1979 season was the only other year when the Astros took home multiple Pitcher of the Month awards, as righty Ken Forsch (April), righty Joe Niekro (May), righty Joaquin Andujar (June) and righty J.
