Lively did not factor into the decision in Friday's 10-8 win against Pittsburgh, allowing six runs on nine hits and one walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The Cleveland righty pitched fewer than five innings for just the fourth time this season, as he allowed a season-worst nine hits. All six Pittsburgh runs came in the fifth inning, as Lively yielded six hits -- including for three extra bases - on 27 pitches before being relieved by Pedro Avila. The 32-year-old has now pitched to a 3.92 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 105:42 K:BB across 131 innings this season. He is scheduled to make his next outing against the division-rival Royals on the road.

Lively (11-8) allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out four over 6.2 innings to earn the win over the Rangers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Lively snapped a three-start winless stretch, riding an explosion of offense from the Guardians to his first win since Aug. 1. He's posted quality starts in three of his five outings this month, allowing 14 runs (13 earned) across 27.1 innings. Lively is now at a 3.62 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 102:41 K:BB through 126.2 innings over 23 starts this year, which has been his best in the majors. His next start is expected to come at home versus the Pirates.

Lively (10-8) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out five and taking a loss against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

Lively delivered his second quality start of the month but was still stuck with the loss as Cleveland was shut out in the series finale in Milwaukee. He gave up a run in each of the first two innings before turning in four straight scoreless frames to end his day. Lively is 2-4 despite a solid 3.86 ERA over his last seven starts. For the year, he owns a 3.68 ERA with a 98:40 K:BB through 120 innings. Lively's next outing is projected to be at home against Texas.

Lively did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and four walks over 3.2 innings against the Cubs. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Lively was touched up for a couple of homers and four walks for the second-consecutive start. While he never allowed the game to get out of hand, eventually paving the way for a comeback victory by the Guardians, he was pulled with two on and two out in the fourth and walked away with a no decision. It was the shortest outing of the season for Lively, who had made it into the fifth inning during each of his previous 20 starts. Despite the rough showing, the veteran righty is continuing to produce a career season, posting a 3.71 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 93 strikeouts over 114 innings. His next opportunity to toe the rubber is scheduled to take place in Milwaukee when the Guardians travel to take on the Brewers.

Lively (10-7) took the loss Wednesday against the Diamondbacks in the opening game of a doubleheader, allowing four runs on four hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Lively struggled with command and control a bit Wednesday, issuing a season-high four walks. The Diamondbacks would ultimately make him pay with a pair of two-run homers in an eventual 7-3 Cleveland defeat. It's the first time in five starts that Lively's allowed more than two runs -- he'd posted a 2.78 ERA in his last four outings (22.2 innings) prior to Wednesday. Overall, the 32-year-old right-hander still sports a 3.59 ERA on the campaign with a 1.17 WHIP and 92:34 K:BB across 110.1 innings. Lively will look to rebound in his next outing, currently slated for early next week at home against the Cubs.

Lively and the Guardians won't face Arizona on Tuesday, as the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

EDGE Analysis

The two teams will play a doubleheader Wednesday to make up for Tuesday's game, and Lively will presumably get the starting nod in one of the two contests. In three starts since the All-Star break, the 32-year-old righty owns a 2.60 ERA and 1.04 WHIP alongside a 12:5 K:BB through 17.1 innings.

Lively (10-6) earned the win over Baltimore on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four batters over six innnings.

EDGE Analysis

Lively gave up a run in the first frame, but Cleveland's offense put up five runs by the end of third to take a comfortable lead. The right-hander surrendered another run on a fourth-inning Anthony Santander homer, and that was all the Orioles offense managed against him. Lively notched his second straight quality start and has now given up two or fewer runs in four consecutive outings. He's in the midst of a breakout campaign with 10 victories along with a 3.42 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 90:30 K:BB over 105.2 innings.

Lively (9-6) picked up the win Friday against the Phillies, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Lively was fantastic Friday, only giving up a solo home run to Bryson Stott en route to the win after back-to-back losses. Lively continues his remarkably consistent season, as he's gone at least five innings and allowed three runs or fewer in 16 of his 18 starts thus far in his breakout campaign. The 32-year-old will carry a 3.44 ERA into his next start, currently scheduled vs the Orioles.

Lively (8-6) took the loss against the Padres on Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings while striking out two.

EDGE Analysis

Lively gave up a two-out double to Kyle Higashioka that plated two runs in the second inning, but outside of that, he pitched well and stayed out of trouble in Sunday's loss. It was his seventh straight start in which he gave up multiple runs, but he's also pitched into the sixth inning in six straight starts. The 32-year-old remains a steady piece of the Guardians rotation with a 3.57 ERA through 93.1 innings this season.

Lively (8-5) yielded two runs on three hits and two walks over 5.1 innings Sunday, striking out seven and taking a loss against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Lively turned in a strong performance aside from serving up solo homers to Jose Siri and Brandon Lowe. The Rays threw a combined shutout and stuck Lively with the tough-luck loss. His seven punchouts matched a season best and he's now hit that mark four times in 2024. Lively will begin the second half with a strong 3.58 ERA and 78:25 K:BB through 16 starts. In eight outings since the start of June, he's registered a 4.40 ERA.
