last start - 5/18 vs. cle: pitched Houston to a 4-1 win over Cleveland at Minute Maid Park, allowing 1 run on 4 hits over 7.0 innings...struck out 8 and walked 1.

• improved to 6-0 on the year...is 1 of 2 undefeated starters in the Majors (also STL's Miles Mikolas, 6-0)...is the first Astro to start a season 6-0 since Dallas Keuchel began the 2017 seaosn at 9-0.

charles in charge: 34-year-old with a turbo-charged fastball is in the 2nd year of a 2-year contract he signed with the Astros as a free agent.

• has had 2 of his most productive Major League seasons in Houston, posting an 20-7 record and a 3.16 ERA (71ER/202.1IP) in 34 starts with the Astros from 2017-18.

did i hear a niner?: is riding a career-long 9-game winning streak that dates back to his start on 9/15/17...in 12 starts in that timespan, has posted a 1.95 ERA (16ER/74IP)...prior to this run, his previous career-long streak was a 6-game streak over parts of the 2014-15 seasons with the Pirates.

• ties as the longest active winning streak in MLB with Brandon Morrow.how he ranks: is tied for the AL lead in winning percentage (6-0, 1.000) and

ranks T-3rd in wins, 3rd in ERA, 3rd in opponent batting average (.173), 4th in strikeouts per 9.0 innings (11.32) and 9th in strikeouts.

• has allowed just 12 earned runs in 55.2 innings pitched and has not allowed an earned run in 3 of his 9 starts.

bringing the heat: formerly a low 90’s sinkerballer, has developed into one of the hardest-throwing starting pitchers in the game...has posted an average fastball velocity of 97.2 miles per hour this year, which ranks 2nd among AL starters behind Luis Severino (98.4).

• in 2017, his average fastball velocity of 95.0 miles per hour was the 7th-hardest among all Major League starting pitchers.

lights out vs. lefties: his breakout with the Astros has been sparked by a newfound dominance over left-handed hitters...has held lefties to an .118 opponent batting average (11x93) in 2018, and has allowed just 3 extra-base hits to a lefty...in 2017 he held them to a .175 batting average (44x252) and a .561 OPS.

• among AL starters, ranks 2nd in opponent average vs. left-handed hitters, behind Francisco Liriano (.087).

• prior to joining the Astros in 2017, had allowed left-handed hitters to bat .307 (493x1607) with an .859 OPS against him in his career.

that curve: his curveball has been a huge weapon...has given up just 5 hits on his curveball this season (.100, 6x60)...left-handed hitters have recorded just 2 hits off his curveball in 2018 (.050, 2x40, 32 strikeouts).

• has a whiff on 55.9% of all swings against his curveball, which leads all MLB starters...Kyle Gibson ranks 2nd at 47.4%.

utter dominance: struck out a career-high 14 batters in Houston's 6-1 win over the Rangers on May 12...allowed 1 run on 4 hits and no walks in 7.0 innings...the 14 strikeouts bested his previous career-high of 12, set twice, most recently on April 14, 2018 vs. TEX.

• became the 6th pitcher in Astros history to strike out 14 batters with no walks in a single game...also Justin Verlander (May 1, 2018 vs. NYY), Shane Reynolds (1999), Randy Johnson (1998), Mike Scott (twice, 1987 and 1986) and Larry Dierker (twice in 1969).

happy at home: in 25 starts at Minute Maid Park as an Astro (regular and postseason combined), has gone 16-3 with a 2.72 ERA (46ER/152IP) and 177 strikeouts.

• has an active 9-game winning streak at MMP (including the postseason).
