Gavin Williams: Breaking News

Williams (5-3) took the loss against the Twins on Sunday, allowing five runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out six across six innings. Williams generated a whopping 24 whiffs while tossing 73 strikes on 101 pitches and limited the Twins to one run through four innings. However, things fell apart for him in the fifth; he gave up four runs in the frame, and his Guardians teammates couldn't generate enough runs for him to avoid the loss. Williams has yielded at least five earned runs and nine baserunners in three of his last four starts and now sits at a 3.74 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 66:22 K:BB across 55.1 innings. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which is slated for next weekend at home against the Reds.

Williams (5-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Royals, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks with seven strikeouts across six innings. After he was tagged for six runs over six innings against the Blue Jays on April 24, Williams pitched a season-high 7.2 innings of one-run ball against Tampa Bay last week. Williams' ERA has ballooned from 2.12 to 3.28 with the two bad outings sandwiched around his dominant start against the Rays. Williams served up a pair of homers to lefties Isaac Collins and Michael Massey at the bottom of the Royals' lineup Tuesday. Through 49.1 innings, Williams has an MLB-best 60 strikeouts, though 21 walks allowed remains an issue for the right-hander. He's slated to face the Twins at home Sunday.

Williams (5-1) picked up the win Wednesday, allowing one unearned run on five hits over 7.2 innings in a 3-1 victory over the Rays. He struck out nine without walking a batter. The big right-hander put together his longest outing of the season as he pounded the strike zone, firing 71 of 95 pitches for strikes while generating an impressive 35 called or swinging strikes. It was a strong bounce-back performance after Williams got tagged for six runs over six innings in Toronto last Friday, and Wednesday's quality start was his third in seven trips to the mound this season. Williams will take a 2.70 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and an MLB-leading 53 strikeouts through 43.1 innings into his next outing, which is set to come on the road early next week in Kansas City.
