ZacKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK Grienke grabs my POTW. The 25-year-old right-hander struck out a team record, 15 batters as the Kansas City Royals defeated the Cleveland Indians (sorry Rey), 6-2.
Of his 117 pitches, Grienke threw 77 for strikes while breaking a 21-year old record set by Mark Gubicza.
The Orlando, Florida native improved to 12-8 on the season (has since won #13) and an American League-leading 2.43 ERA.
Grienke etches his name in Royal pitching lore along with Bret Saberhagen, Dennis Leonard, Paul Splittorff, Dan Quisenberry, and…have I forgotten any.
Who gets your POTW?
