I think he's getting a bump from having thrown today, on the day that a lot of other good news popped up from the Royals.
Today was an encouraging step forward for Ventura. He needs to build on it and be consistent.
The biggest difference for him today was working ahead in a lot more counts. He's been falling behind a lot more often this season than he did last year, which leads to him throwing more fastballs in hitters counts, which leads to more hard contact and more contact overall, and worse results.
