The competition for the role as the final starting pitcher has all but ended. Peacock has had a stellar Spring Training up to this point, proving that he is more than capable of coming out of the bullpen and once again assuming the position as a starter for the Astros this season.
Peacock pitched in his third game of the Spring yesterday, and as he has done in the two prior appearances, he failed to give up one single earned run. He has now pitched in eight innings and has an ERA of 0.
