5 years agoMariner's starter Yusei Kikuchi showed the talent on Sunday that led Seattle to give him $50 million dollars in the offseason, going on the road to shut out the Blue Jays. Kikuchi only allowed two hits, while walking one and striking out nine. Perhaps just as important as his pitching line was the radar gun, as Kikuchi's fastball velocity has been dropping to 90-91 mph recently. But on Sunday, the former NPB superstar regained some of his heat, still touching 94-95 mph in the middle innings. Kikuchi will could be a premium stream in his next outing, getting the same Toronto Blue Jays at home on August 23.--Nicklaus Gaut - RotoBaller
