Andrew Abbott: Everything you need to know

Abbott (4-3) picked up the loss Wednesday, allowing three runs (2 earned) on five hits and a walk over six innings during a 4-2 loss against the Mets. He struck out four. Abbott broke his three-game winning streak with a loss where he allowed solo shots to Juan Soto and Eric Wagaman in the first two innings. The lefty pitched well, but did not get much run support on the mound today even through it was his sixth straight game giving up two earned runs or fewer. Abbott had an 0-2 record with a 6.59 ERA and 1.78 WHIP across 28.2 innings through his first six starts of the season. In his six starts since, he has a 3-1 record with a 1.59 ERA over 34 innings. The 26-year-old is slated to make his next start at home against the Royals.

Abbott (4-2) picked up the win Wednesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks over 5.1 innings during a 9-4 victory over the Phillies. He struck out three. The southpaw dealt with traffic on the bases in every inning before finally being lifted after 96 pitches (64 strikes) following a solo shot by Alec Bohm, but the Reds gave Abbott more than enough run support to record his third straight win and fourth consecutive winning decision. He's given up two earned runs or fewer in all five of his outings during that latter stretch, posting a 1.29 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 19:13 K:BB over his last 28 innings. Abbott will look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come on the road early next week against the Mets.

Abbott (3-2) earned the win against the Guardians on Friday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks while striking out two across five innings. Abbott limited the Guardians to just one run through five frames, and his Reds teammates scored enough runs for him to come away with the win, even with the team's bullpen yielding five runs across the eighth and ninth innings. Abbott had an 0-2 record with a 6.59 ERA and 1.78 WHIP across 28.2 innings through his first six starts of the season. In his four starts since, he has a 3-0 record with a 1.19 ERA and 1.15 WHIP over 22.2 innings. He'll look to keep the good times going in his next start, which is slated for next week against the Phillies in Philadelphia.
