7 years agoHard-throwing right-hander Chad Kuhl wasn't spectacular on Sunday, allowing four runs in 5 2/3 innings, but he did enough to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a sweep over the Detroit Tigers. Kuhl allowed eight hits on the day, though he limited the damage by issuing no walks and punching out four. The 25-year-old has produced mediocre results to this point in his major-league career (4.30 ERA). However, he can touch 99 mph with his fastball and saw his strikeout rate rise from 17.6 percent in 2016 to 20.9 percent last year, which makes him worth keeping an eye on for fantasy purposes.--Matt Wilkes
