The first stint in the majors for Jose Berrios was disappointing to say the least. The 22-year-old had a 10.20 ERA with 7.20 BB/9 across his four starts, capped off by a 7 ER and 4 BB effort in just 0.2 innings against the Tigers. After cultivating in the minors for the next two months, it started to click again for Berrios. In his final eight minor league appearances, he held a 1.46 ERA with 80 strikeouts and just 15 walks. There were high hopes as Berrios was recalled to start on August 1st against the Cleveland Indians and I was interested to see if Berrios had made any changes since the last time on the hill.
