Huascar Ynoa Strikes Out Five, Records First Win of 2021
4 years agoAtlanta Braves pitcher Huascar Ynoa recorded his first win of the season on Friday during the club's 5-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks. The right-handed hurler posted a K-BB of 5-1 and allowed just two hits over six innings. His biggest blemish of the night was a two-run homer to Carson Kelly in the fifth inning. Ynoa has been a solid member of Atlanta's starting staff in 2021 with a K-BB of 25-4 and just 15 hits allowed in 22 innings of work. However, he has been prone to the homer with five allowed so far this season. His command has not been as impressive as his control and when he misses his spots he's getting hit hard as seen by his 18.2% barrel rate and 51% hard-hit rate.
