TCB Pitcher of the Week: Week of September 1-7, 2015

In a start unbecoming of him, Dallas Keuchel allowed three runs (all solo shots), walked two, and struck out twelve batters (one off of his season high) in a victory against the Twins that had Minute Maid Park rocking and long balls flying out of the park all day. Interestingly, this was the first start in which he pitched eight innings since his start against Kansas City on the final day of June. His dominance at Minute Maid continued and he now has an ERA of 1.49 and a K/9 of 9.7 at home. It gets harder to give out new information as he goes out and sends down the competition week after week, but he is second in the MLB in GB%, fourth in ERA and SIERA, third in xFIP, fourth in fWAR, third in ERA- and xFIP-, and first in Hard%.
