Junis (2-0) pitched seven innings, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out six Padres in Sunday's win.
EDGE Analysis
All three runs scored off Junis came via solo home runs (two by Cory Spangenberg), but in the end, it was the rookie's finest performance of the year. After failing to complete five frames in his first two starts, the righty racked up 100 pitches while dealing into the eighth inning. Junis was dominant in seven starts for Triple-A Omaha this season and, albeit against a weak opponent, Sunday's effort looked more in line with what many expect from the top prospect than any of his other MLB games thus far. He'll toe the rubber next against the Angels on the road Saturday.
