Triston McKenzie - Keeps hot streak goingMcKenzie (4-6) allowed one run on three hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings, taking a hard-luck loss in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat to the Twins.ImpactMcKenzie deserved a better fate Wednesday, but Minnesota starter Joe Ryan took a perfect game into the seventh inning and Cleveland ended the contest with just one hit allowed. Even with the Twins' rookie hogging the spotlight, McKenzie deserves major plaudits for what has been an incredible pace of late. In his last four starts, the lanky right-hander has a K:BB of 32:3 and an ERA of 1.00 over 27 innings. His situation with regard to run support is sub-optimal, but McKenzie is certainly holding up his end of the bargain.
