OAKLAND, Calif. -- Houston Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel rarely if ever lets the opposition see him sweat. But after a rough start in an 8-1 loss to Texas on Aug. 30, Keuchel knew he had lost his "cool a little bit" and paid the price.
"That's what led to a lot of runs," Keuchel said, looking back after his next start on Monday at Seattle. "And I told myself not to do that ever again and let the guys rely on me to get it going."
Keuchel bounced back to pitch a gem against the Mariners.
