Flexen (9-3) allowed one earned run on six hits and one walk while striking out two across seven innings to earn the win over the Angels on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen's only damage was a second-inning solo home run off the bat of Max Stassi. Other than that, it was another great performance against the Halos, as he's allowed just four runs against them in 18 innings over three appearances this season. Over his last six starts, Flexen is 4-0 with a 1.36 ERA and 0.91 WHIP. He has lowered his season ERA to 3.35 and his nine wins have him tied for third-most in the American League. The only downfall right now is his low 5.9 K/9.

Flexen (8-3) tossed seven scoreless innings against the Angels on Saturday, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out six to earn the win.

EDGE Analysis

Both Flexen and opposing starter Patrick Sandoval notched quality starts in the contest, but Flexen came out on top in the low-scoring affair. The right-hander dominated despite registering only seven swinging strikes and a quiet six punchouts. Flexen has shown this season that it is still possible to get by as a major-league starter without racking up strikeouts -- his 6.1 K/9 ranks in the bottom 10th percentile among pitchers who have tossed at least 50 innings, but that hasn't stopped him from posting a strong 8-3 record, 3.51 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. Over his past four contests, Flexen has been even better, registering a 1.38 ERA across 32.2 frames.

Flexen (7-3) allowed one earned run on four hits while striking out five across six innings, earning the win Sunday over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen shut out the Rangers through the first five innings, but he allowed a run on three singles in the sixth inning. It was one of Flexen's more dominant performances this season and he didn't walk a single batter for just the third time. The 26-year-old has a 3.80 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP in 85.1 innings. He is not a big strikeout threat, posting a low 6.0 K/9. He has been very solid recently, firing a quality start in each of his last five appearances.

Flexen did not factor into the decision during Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays. He allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks with a pair of strikeouts across five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen served up a two-run double to Marcus Semien in the second frame, then worked his way into trouble in the fifth when he loaded the bases by allowing a double and back-to-back free passes. Luckily, the right-hander was able to limit the damage to one run on a sacrifice fly by Cavan Biggio. After tallying 14 strikeouts and giving up just one run in his previous two starts, Tuesday's shaky outing was a bit of a disappointment, including his season-worst three walks. The 26-year-old will carry a 3.97 ERA and 1.30 WHIP into his next projected appearance at home Sunday against Texas.

Flexen didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rockies despite tossing 6.2 innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits and two walks while fanning six.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen has looked excellent over his last few outings and has given up one or fewer runs in three of his last five appearances while posting four quality starts in that span. The four-year veteran improved his ERA to 3.87 with another strong outing, and he will try to keep this blistering form going when he takes the ball next. His upcoming outing is scheduled for next week at Toronto.

Flexen (6-3) tossed eight scoreless innings while allowing just four hits and striking out eight without walking a batter as he took an easy win over the Twins on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen was brilliant in this one and never let up despite the Mariners jumping out to an early big lead. Five of his season-high eight strikeouts came via the changeup and he generated a total of 15 whiffs in the dominant effort. The 26-year-old lowered his ERA to 4.12 but still has just 44 strikeouts over 67.2 innings. He's lined up for another potentially big performance early next week at home against the Rockies, a team that owns a .570 OPS on the road this year.

Flexen allowed three runs on six hits and a walk with three strikeouts in six innings versus Detroit on Wednesday. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander earned a quality start, his fourth in 11 outings this year. Flexen has done alright as a No. 5 starter with a 4.68 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 36:12 K:BB across 59.2 innings this season. Inconsistency has been an issue for the 26-year-old at times. He lines up for a favorable matchup at home against Minnesota next week.

Flexen (5-3) suffered the loss against the Athletics on Wednesday, pitching six innings and allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander's final line was unimpressive, but he was mostly effective outside of a disastrous third inning during which he yielded five runs on four hits and a walk. Flexen kept Oakland off the scoreboard in each of his other five frames, but he took the loss nonetheless as opposing pitcher Sean Manaea hurled a complete-game shutout. Flexen has been pretty hit-or-miss this season, allowing zero or one runs in five of his 10 starts but yielding five-plus runs three times. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start at Detroit next Wednesday.

Flexen (5-2) won Thursday's 5-0 match with Texas, pitching seven scoreless innings and allowing three hits and one walk with six strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

One start after allowing eight runs in less than two innings to San Diego, Flexen rebounded with easily his best performance of the season. The righty needed only 87 pitches to complete seven innings and faced no more than four batters in any single inning. He's now the owner of a 4.34 ERA with a 3:1 K:BB ratio.

Flexen (4-2) took the loss against San Diego on Friday, allowing eight runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out one across 1.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen entered the contest with a respectable 3.46 ERA on the campaign and departed with that number having ballooned to 5.09. The Padres posted four runs against him in the first inning and another four in the second, forcing Flexen out of the contest after he retired only five batters. The right-hander gave up a pair of homers in the start after having yielded only three long balls through his first 39 innings of the season. He'll try to regain his footing in his next start, which is tentatively lined up to come at Oakland on Wednesday.
