James Paxton had already made a nice leap forward a few years ago when he adjusted his mechanics and boosted his already plus velocity a couple notches, and now it appears he's made another adjustment (pitching higher in the zone) which has resulted in a 7 IP/5 H/0 R/16 K game and now a 9 IP/0 H/0 R/7 K game back to back. If this change isn't just a blip, and if he can stay healthy (always an issue with Big Maple) he's just transformed himself into one of the elite pitchers in the game.
