...He now has 20Ks in 12 IP and a 0.75 ERA (1.61 ERA for his 20-inning career).

ben, that was BEFORE tonight!  :):):)
-Now he's 29K/16IP, 3 hits, 7 walks. 
-Last 3 starts, 22K/2BB/2H/11.2IP.

Hot indeed.  I'm curious how he's doing it?  I've seen some highlight clips that show the K's, and strike 3 usually looks to come on chase breaking balls.  But you don't get to 2-strike chase counts without getting to two strikes somehow.  So I assume he's using a good dose of fastballs earlier in counts, and throwing them for strikes without getting whacked.
