Lance McCullers' Changeup - McCullers threw a career high number of changeups in this game and despite only allowing 2 runs on 4 hits, he came up with the short stick in this pitching duel. McCullers wasn't short on stuff though and his changeup was working like it was here when it ran in on a helpless Zack Cozart to end the 6th inning.
Adam Ottovino’s slider will always get my vote. That pitch has been downright nasty all year!
