Flexen (1-2) picked up the victory during Friday's 4-1 win over Kansas City, allowing one run on six hits with five strikeouts in seven innings.

EDGE Analysis

After allowing three earned runs and being tagged for the loss in each of his first two starts, Flexen shut down the Royals offense besides a Salvador Perez solo shot. Through three starts, the 27-year-old has an excellent 3.63 ERA -- nearly identical to last season's 3.61 mark -- and 11 strikeouts compared to just four walks through 17.1 innings. He's currently set to face off against Tampa Bay on Thursday for his next start.

Flexen (0-2) took the loss in Saturday's 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Astros, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk with three strikeouts in six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen pitched well enough Saturday, but Seattle experienced a vintage performance from Justin Verlander and couldn't put a run on the board. The 27-year-old has now submitted identical lines of five hits, three runs and three strikeouts in both starts, though he was able to go a solid six innings against Houston. He's currently slated to face Kansas City for his next start on Friday.

Flexen (0-1) allowed three runs on five hits over 4.1 innings to take the loss against Minnesota on Monday. He struck out three and walked three.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen gave up a first-inning run but then went unscathed until the fifth. In that frame, he gave up a pair of hits to lead off the inning and was pulled for a reliever with one out. Both inherited runners came around to score, saddling Flexen with an unfavorable final line and leading to the loss. The right-hander will look for better results in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to take place at home against Houston this weekend.

Flexen started the Mariners' Cactus League loss to the Angels on Sunday and allowed an earned run on two hits over three innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen was one of the several pleasant surprises for the Mariners last season, posting a 14-6 record, 3.61 ERA and 1.25 WHIP across 31 starts. The right-hander enters 2022 with a solid grip on the No. 4 spot in the rotation, and he made a strong impression on manager Scott Servais in his first spring action while liberally incorporating the cutter he found plenty of success with a year ago, Jesse Borek of MLB.com reports. "All of his pitchers were working, and he had really good command," Servais said.

Flexen got a no-decision in Saturday's 6-4 victory over the Angels, allowing one run on six hits and one walk with one strikeout in 5.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen pitched well in Saturday's win, permitting just one run on a Jose Rojas home run in the fifth inning, but he was saddled with the no-decision as Seattle's offense didn't get going until late. After sitting out the 2020 season, the 27-year-old concludes the regular season with a 14-6 record in 31 starts with a 3.61 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 125:40 K:BB in 179.2 innings.

Flexen (14-6) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings Monday, striking out six and earning a win over Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't Flexen's most efficient start but he extended his winning streak to three games thanks to Seattle's offense dropping 13 runs. He coughed up a three-run shot to Seth Brown in the first inning and later allowed another run in the fourth. He's posted a 3.06 ERA and a 17:5 K:BB over his last three outings, lowering his season ERA to 3.67 through 174.1 frames. Flexen is projected to face the Angels at home this weekend.

Flexen (13-6) earned the win over Oakland on Wednesday, pitching seven innings and allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out eight.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander allowed only one extra-base hit in the contest -- a fifth inning Matt Chapman solo homer that also accounted for Oakland's only run. Flexen tied his season high with eight strikeouts and completed seven frames for the first time since Aug. 19. He lowered his ERA to 3.56, which ranks fourth among qualified pitchers in the American League. Flexen is scheduled to face the Athletics again early next week.

Flexen (12-6) secured the victory in a win over the Royals on Friday, allowing an earned run on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out three in the game.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander bounced back nicely after a rough outing versus the Diamondbacks his last time out, coaxing his ERA back down to 3.66. Flexen also encouragingly stayed away from the long ball after allowing his 15th and 16th home runs of the season in his previous two starts, and all six hits he surrendered were singles. The 27-year-old will look to extend what has been a strong stretch of pitching since early August -- save for the aforementioned stumble against Arizona -- when he takes the mound next week.

Flexen (11-6) took the loss in Saturday's 7-3 defeat at the hands of the Diamondbacks, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen was staked to an early 2-1 lead and was cruising until encountering trouble in the fourth inning, when the first four Diamondbacks reached base and Daulton Varsho later homered. This was the 25-year-old's first start where he surrendered more than three runs since July 27, also his last loss. He'll look to get back on track against Kansas City next weekend.

Flexen didn't factor into the decision in Sunday's 10-4 win over Arizona, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen was rolling through five innings but permitted three runs on three hits in the sixth to fall behind 3-2. Seattle eventually knotted the score and went on to win in extras while Flexen posted his fourth quality start in five turns. The 27-year-old has now allowed no more than three runs in any of his last seven starts and has a 2.93 ERA in the span.
