His stuff was working Saturday against the A’s, especially his slider.
Imai’s walk numbers will be worth monitoring, particularly because they were concerning early in his career. But his whiff rate will require attention, too.

Imai’s bounce-back perforrmance against the A’s was a welcome sight for the Astros, who have now won six of their past seven games after starting the season 0-2.
