Logan Allen gave up 22 home runs in his 20 starts this year, but only struck out 79 batters. It’s relatively rare for a starter to have fewer than four times as many strikeouts as homers allowed.
Over the last 20 seasons, here are the others to fall below that threshold with at least 20 starts.
Last night against the Blue Jays, all six pitchers used by the Guardians recorded either a win, hold or save.
It’s just the eighth time in franchise history the team used at least six pitchers and everyone recorded a decision.
