Triston McKenzie has been great this season, but the one thing he's been unable to overcome: the long ball.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- If not for the home run, and a little more offensive support from his teammates, Triston McKenzie would be in the conversation for the AL Cy Young award along with Justin Verlander, Framber Valdez, teammate Emmanuel Clase, Dylan Cease and others.. Mitch Haniger hit a three-run homer off McKenzie in the first inning for the Mariners’ only runs of the game.
Fourteen of the 21 homers he’s allowed have come with the bases empty. That’s usually a good thing. Three times, however, the bases-empty homer has beaten McKenzie this year. On May 15 at Target Field, with the score tied, 1-1, Gio Urshela hit a first-pitch two-out homer in the fourth and Byron Buxton hit a two-out homer in the fifth to give the Twins a 3-1 win. Two-out homers are frowned upon as well.
The three-run homer might be a hitter’s best friend, but it is a nightmare for pitchers. McKenzie has allowed five this year.
