Memoria day 20177/1/2023 ![]() Today Peacock, starting for the injured Charley Morton, appeared All-Star quality for his first four, shutout innings, but tired in the fifth when he allowed a lead-off double to Max Kepler, followed by a triple to Jorge Polanco. By adding a slider to his repertoire, he has become nearly unhittable, coming into this game with a 0.87 ERA in short and long relief and one start. So far, in 2017, Peacock has not only saved his career but has become a star performer.
