King threw 54-of-90 pitches for strikes, and he allowed four hits and a pair of walks. One of those hits was a two-run homer by Christian Walker, but outside of that the right-hander limited the hard contact. This was a far cry from his shutout outing against the Rockies, but still a solid effort. The Rays are next for King, and he’ll take a 2.57 ERA and 31/10 K/BB into that contest.

King allowed only a pair of singles, walked one and struck out eight in the 110-pitch gem. It’s his first complete game in 53 career starts, and he joined Nathan Eovaldi (against the Reds) in having a shutout this season. Following a rough Opening Day start against the Braves, he’s allowed a total of three runs and struck out 21 in three straight wins. He’ll aim for an encore in Houston next weekend.

King bounced back nicely in his second start, dominating the Guardians over five scoreless innings. He scattered four baserunners on two hits, a walk, and a hit batter. The 29-year-old right-hander generated 18 whiffs to punch out 11 batters. King is lined up to take on the Athletics in Sacramento on Monday.
