AI Summary
Michael King pitched 5 2/3 innings with six hits, one run, two walks, and five strikeouts in a no-decision against the Brewers, showcasing strong stuff with his fastball, changeup, and sinker-sweeper combo.
King is so much fun to watch when he has everything clicking. His fastball and changeup each forced four swings-and-misses and he was tunneling those two pitches beautifully off each other against left-handed batters. At the same time, his sinker-sweeper combo tormented right-handers. The only run he gave up came after a single by Sal Frelick following an eight-pitch battler, bunt hit, and two straight fielder's choices. He'll look to take this momentum into a two-start week against the Dodgers and Athletics with both starts coming at home.
