The Blue Jays former pitcher Yusei Kikuchi had his first start with the Astros yesterday and despite a tough start ended up having an incredible game.
Kikuchi gave up a home run and a double in the first inning but would go on to only give up one more hit in the game as he struck out 11 batters including 8 in a row.
Yusei Kikuchi has EIGHT STRAIGHT K'S in his Astros debut.

While Atkins got a great return for Kikuchi, clearly they also lost an amazing pitcher as he continues his dominant season in a new uniform.
