Castillo (1-1) allowed three earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out one across 2.1 innings to take the loss in Game 4 of the ALCS on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Castillo got through two innings unscathed, but he allowed five of the first six hitters he faced in the third frame to reach base before being pulled. This was Castillo's first stumble of the postseason, as he had previously thrown six scoreless innings across two appearances in the ALDS. He has a less impressive 5:5 K:BB, but he has largely been a reliable arm for Seattle.

Gimenez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and four RBI in Game 4 of the ALCS on Thursday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Scherzer (1-0) allowed two earned runs on three hits and four walks while striking out five across 5.2 innings to earn the win in Game 4 of the ALCS on Thursday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Scherzer drew his first start of the postseason and took the mound for game action for the first time since Sept. 24. He understandably showed some rust, issuing two free passes in the first inning and a leadoff homer in the second inning. He settled in from there, allowing only a pair of singles and walks across his final 3.2 frames of work. It's unclear when Scherzer will be called upon next, but he played a big part in the Blue Jays leveling the ALCS through four games.

He rebounded Thursday, successfully protecting a two-run lead while retiring the side on just 13 pitches. Sasaki has three saves in the postseason, allowing only one earned run across seven innings of work with a 6:2 KBB.

Glasnow allowed one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out eight across 5.2 innings in Game 3 of the NLCS on Thursday against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Glasnow allowed a pair of hits in the second inning to account for the only run against him, and the only baserunners he allowed thereafter came via walk. He also went through stretches of retiring seven and six consecutive hitters, getting the better end of a pitcher's duel with Jacob Misiorowski. Glasnow has now turned in 13.1 shutout innings with an 18:8 K:BB this postseason.

Misiorowski (2-1) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out nine across five innings to take the loss in Game 3 of the NLCS on Thursday against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Misiorowski was set for bulk relief duties, though he entered the game with only one out in the first inning after Aaron Ashby faltered. Misiorowski picked the Brewers up, holding the Dodgers in check until his final inning of work, when he allowed a walk and two singles to allow the game-winning runs to score. He was otherwise dominant, racking up 14 swinging strikes on 73 pitches while also generating four groundball outs. Misiorowski has had an impressive postseason, allowing just two earned runs across 12 innings of work while maintaining a 16:3 K:BB.

EDGE Analysis
