Lance McCullers is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball (MLB). The Astros selected McCullers in the first round of the 2012 MLB draft. He made his MLB debut in 2015 and was an All-Star in 2017.
At the plate, McCullers fanned five and walked three in four and a half innings as the Astros fell to the Athletics, 2–1, in his major league debut.
On June 3, 2015, McCullers faced the Baltimore Orioles and pitched his first career complete game. He remained in the Astros’ rotation the rest of the season, making 22 starts in total.
McCullers was placed on the injured list with a strained shoulder throughout the first half of the season. He had a record of 6–5 in 14 starts for the season. At the start of the 2017 season, the Astros placed McCullers in the starting rotation.
He threw 22 scoreless innings from May 6–23, which was the longest streak among Astros pitchers since Roy Oswalt threw 32 innings from August 27–September 11, 2008, while he was with the team.
A four-game streak of no earned runs allowed by McCullers, the first for the Astros since Nolan Ryan in 1984, was also a record for that span.
