The Cleveland Indians called up Triston Mckenzie to start Saturday against the Detroit Tigers at Progressive Field. The 23 year old right hander made his major league debut in a dazzling ten strikeout performance that led the Indians to a 6-1 victory over the Tigers.
McKenzie came out and showed just why he is revered as one of the best prospects in the Indians deep farm system, sitting down the Tigers in order, ending the top of the first with a strikeout of veteran star Miguel Cabrera.
In the bottom, Francisco Lindor opened his night with a two-out double, followed by a wild pitch that got him to third before Carlos Santana grounded out for the final out of the inning.
