McGee struck out a pair in one inning of work Tuesday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw had a rough inaugural season with Colorado in 2016, but he's been one of the better arms in an improved Rockies 'pen thus far. Tuesday marked the sixth outing in a row where McGee hasn't allowed a run, which helped to lower his ERA to 2.79 and his WHIP to a stellar 0.83. Better yet, he's showing off his strikeout capabilities that were lacking last season, as he's already racked up 13 whiffs this season. He won't get too many save opportunities as long as Greg Holland continues to shine, but McGee certainly will get his fair share of high-leverage innings moving forward and could log some more holds because of it.
