“I thought it was special,” manager Terry Francona said of McKenzie’s performance. “He had no walks, 13 strikeouts. He was spinning it and they had to respect his fastball because it had life through the zone and then he was spinning it as good as he was. That was very impressive.”

Triston McKenzie has proven his worth as a dominant player in the Cleveland Guardians, his level of the sport has ensured that his team mates and management can rely on him. “I think we talk about that all the time,” rookie outfielder Steven Kwan said. “It would be scary, though, because that slider he has, that’s kind of the same speed as his fastball but profiles a slider is something crazy. And then he’s made a lot of people look silly on that curveball.”

This is what Triston McKenzie had to say about his win against the White Sox“I think we have a good game plan just going into the game,” McKenzie said of his success against Chicago. “I’m not actually thinking about striking guys out as we go through the game, but I think once we got to the fourth or the fifth inning and I had six or seven, it was more like let’s keep attacking guys in the zone and let’s keep expanding and see if we can get them to chase.”
