Indians' Zach McAllister: Makes back-to-back appearances

McAllister appeared in back-to-back games over the weekend for the first time this spring, tossing a combined 1.2 scoreless innings while allowing one hit and notching one strikeout.

Analysis:

One of the final spring tests for relievers is pitching in consecutive games, and McAllister completed that last hurdle Saturday in a one-pitch outing against the White Sox. The 29-year-old right-hander owns a 3.72 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through seven exhibition appearances (9.2 innings). McAllister has thrown 84 percent of his Cactus League pitches for strikes and hasn't allowed a walk in his last eight innings.
