He walked one hitter and struck out seven. The 4.1 inning pitched marked his longest outing of the season. The scoreless streak lasted 14.1 innings prior to it being broken up.

While he did raise his era from 0.00 to 0.53, he did exit with Indianapolis in front 6-2. However, he did reach a season high 71 pitches thrown and got 16 whiffs, also a season high. Indianapolis would go on to win 7-4 with Skenes getting a no decision. he is still 0-0 this season.
