Summary
Joey Cantillo just rewrote the record books, firing 44 curveballs in one game — nearly half his 98 pitches — to deliver his best start of the year, striking out batters with a nasty, movement-packed pitch that Astros hitters couldn’t handle. With just two hits allowed and an 8-1 win, Cantillo’s aggressive curveball usage, now up from 20% to nearly 50%, proved devastating, earning praise from manager Stephen Vogt and catcher Patrick Bailey. By throwing harder and more confidently — even below the zone to induce swings — Cantillo posted one of his best strike rates ever. This dominant performance isn’t just personal; it’s setting the Guardians’ whole team on fire. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
