Ober allowed one run on one hit and three walks while striking out eight over six innings in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Ober gave up a solo home run to Ernie Clement on the fifth pitch he threw of the day but otherwise dominated the Blue Jays. It was a huge bounce-back performance after he allowed a season-worst nine runs in his previous start. That's now 12 quality starts in his last 13 outings for Ober, and his strikeout numbers were up Sunday after managing only 10 strikeouts over his previous 14 innings. The 29-year-old owns a 3.95 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 155:39 K:BB in 148 innings and lines up to make his next start on the road against the Royals over the weekend.

Ober (12-6) yielded nine runs on seven hits and two walks over two innings while taking a loss against Atlanta on Monday. He struck out two batters.
EDGE Analysis
Ober was tagged with a three-run shot by Matt Olson in the first inning and a two-run homer by Travis d'Arnaud in the second. Entering Monday's start, Ober had given up nine total runs over his previous six outings, going 4-0 with a 2.02 ERA during that span. The last time he allowed more than six runs in a start was his season debut against the Royals on March 31. Ober saw his ERA jump from 3.54 to 4.06 after the rough outing. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is lined up to be at home against the Blue Jays.

Ober did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's loss to the Padres, allowing three runs on four hits while striking out five over six innings. He did not issue a walk.
EDGE Analysis
Ober surrendered an early run in the second inning but went on to retire 13 straight batters before Jake Cronenworth led off the seventh with a double. Manny Machado then abruptly ended Ober's night with a two-run homer to center to even up the game at 3-3 and ruin Ober's chances at getting the win. Ober has now posted 11 consecutive quality starts and ranks inside the top five in ERA (2.09) and WHIP (0.80) over that span. For the year, he's posted a 3.54 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 145:34 K:BB in 140 innings. He lines up for a home start against Atlanta to begin next week.

Ober did not factor into the decision in a win over the Rangers on Thursday, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks over seven innings while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
All of the damage against Ober came in the opening frame when he allowed four of the first batters to reach base, leading to two runs coming across for Texas. The right-hander then held the Rangers scoreless over the next five frames, logging his 10th consecutive quality start. Ober has surrendered just one home run over his last four outings, though he's also issued multiple walks in four straight. Thursday's no-decision also snapped a four-game winning streak for the 29-year-old.

Ober (11-5) earned the win over the White Sox on Saturday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over seven innings.
EDGE Analysis
Ober got through four scoreless frames before Chicago tied the game with a run in each of the fifth and sixth innings. The Twins put up a run in the top of the seventh to move the right-hander in line for the win, and he completed a scoreless bottom of the frame before giving way to the bullpen. Ober notched his third straight victory and his eighth consecutive quality start. Over the latter streak, he's posted a 1.95 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 63:11 K:BB across 55.1 innings.

Ober (10-5) earned the win Sunday, allowing one hit and two walks over eight scoreless innings against the Tigers. He struck out 11.
EDGE Analysis
Ober was at his best Sunday, allowing merely two walks and a leadoff single to Matt Vierling in the fourth while blanking the Tigers through eight. It was the seventh consecutive quality start for Ober, who was able to complete eight innings for the second time this season. The 6-foot-9 righty lowered his season ERA to 3.76 with the outing and has performed at a Cy Young-caliber level during this most recent seven-game stretch, going 5-1 while holding a 1.86 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 56 strikeouts over 48.1 innings. Ober is slated to make his next start against the White Sox, ironically the only team to place a blemish against his record during his current hot streak.

Ober (9-5) earned the win Monday against the Phillies, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk over seven innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
The Twins right-hander looked like he was in line for a rough outing, as he yielded three hits in the first inning, including a 424-foot, two-run blast to Bryce Harper. However, Ober recovered wonderfully, allowing just two additional baserunners after the first to secure his 10th quality start of the season. With this performance, the 29-year-old lowered his season ERA to 4.04 across 107 innings. Ober is currently scheduled to face the Tigers in Detroit for his next start this weekend.
