Vasil Strikes Out 5 in White Sox Win Over Mets on Wednesday

The five-strikeout performance marked a significant bump in Vasil's strikeout rate, considering he has averaged only 5.5 K/9 across 31 1/3 innings this season. Despite a WHIP of 1.31, his ERA sits at an impressive 2.30, showcasing his ability to limit damage even with frequent baserunners.

Vasil's outing against the Mets underscores his capability to deliver key innings in relief without serving as the closer, as he's recorded just one save so far. Though lacking an active streak, his situational efficiency remains noteworthy, contributing to his 3-2 record without any starts this year.
