Flexen allowed two runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts in 5.1 innings in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Angels. He did not factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of his last five starts, but he's gone 1-2 in that span. He's also kept the ball in the yard in four of those five games. The right-hander hasn't done anything particularly remarkable this year with a 4.23 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 52:25 K:BB through 72.1 innings, and he'll carry a 2-8 record into next week's projected road rematch with the Angels.

Flexen (2-8) took the loss against Minnesota on Monday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen yielded plenty of traffic on the bases Monday, allowing multiple baserunners in four of his five frames. Still, he did a good job of limiting the damage, allowing a two-run homer to the second batter he faced in the first inning but keeping a strong Twins offense off the scoreboard the rest of the way. Flexen's early trouble was enough to send him to his eighth loss -- tied for second-most in the majors -- though his 4.30 ERA suggests that he hasn't been as bad as the record implies. In fact, the right-hander has posted a solid 3.04 ERA across 23.2 innings over his past four starts, though a 1.39 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB during that stretch isn't great.

Flexen (2-7) got the loss Tuesday after he pitched 6.2 innings, surrendering two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two versus the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen tossed three scoreless innings to open the contest before the Astros got to him for two runs in the bottom of the fourth, accounting for all the damage against him in the outing. He has held his own against the Astros this season, surrendering a total of seven runs over 24.2 frames in four starts against the club this year, good for a 2.55 ERA in those outings. Flexen has now allowed six runs over 18.2 frames in his last three starts after giving up five runs over four innings against the Red Sox on May 21, lowering his ERA from 4.98 to 4.35 over 11 outings this season. He tentatively lines up to pitch again Monday versus the Twins.

Flexen did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over five innings against Baltimore. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen struggled out of the gate, allowing two doubles and a single while throwing a wild pitch that all resulted in two first-inning runs for the Orioles. Baltimore added another run in the third, but Flexen minimized the damage and escaped with his seventh quality start of the campaign. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday's road matchup against the Astros.

Flexen (2-6) yielded one run on seven hits and two walks over seven innings Friday, striking out six and picking up a win against Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen was 0-4 over his last five starts since earning a win over Kansas City on April 22. He danced around trouble multiple times in Friday's outing and the only run he gave up came on a fielder's choice in the second inning. It was the third start in which he allowed just one run and he lowered his season ERA to 4.47 through 50.1 frames. Flexen is lined up to take the mound in Baltimore next week.

Flexen didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Red Sox, surrendering five runs on eight hits and three walks over four-plus innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander got staked to a 4-0 lead before he even set foot on the mound and took a 5-1 lead into the fifth inning, but Flexen allowed four straight hits to begin the bottom of that frame before getting the hook, including two doubles and a Rafael Devers homer, and all four came around to score. This was Flexen's shortest start yet this season, but he's failed to complete six innings in four straight starts. He'll carry a ragged 4.98 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 31:15 K:BB through 43.1 innings into his next outing.

Flexen (1-6) got the loss Monday, surrendering three runs on six hits and two walks over 5.1 against the Blue Jays. He struck out seven batters.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander gave up solo homers in both the first and second innings before getting pulled in the bottom of the sixth frame after walking two batters and recording one out. One of the men he left on base would come around to score for the final run on his line. It was the second straight outing where he has surrendered multiple home runs and he has now given up seven homers in seven starts this year. Monday's effort mixed with Flexen's blow up last week versus the Phillies has raised his ERA from 3.10 to 4.35 on the campaign. He has now lost four straight decisions and will look to turn it around in his next start which tentatively lines up to be Saturday at Boston.

Flexen (1-5) took the loss Monday, coughing up six runs on nine hits and a walk over five innings as the Mariners were routed 9-0 by the Phillies. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Four of the nine hits off Flexen went for extra bases, including homers by Jean Segura and Rhys Hoskins. The right-hander hadn't allowed more than three runs in any of his five prior outings this season, but his low 15.7 percent strikeout rate gives him little margin for error. His hard-hit and barrel rates rank in the bottom 25th percentile of the league. Flexen will carry a 4.24 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB through 34 innings into his next start.

Flexen (1-4) got the loss during Tuesday's 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Astros, allowing one run on two hits and three walks with two strikeouts in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen pitched well except for one mistake -- a fourth inning fastball Yordan Alvarez took over the center-field fence -- and was saddled with the loss as Seattle was held scoreless for the second straight game. The 27-year-old has lost four of his five starts this season despite a solid 3.10 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. He'll go for the win later this week as he's tentatively tabbed to start Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

Flexen (1-3) received the loss after allowing two runs on six hits and two walks in 6.2 innings in a 2-1 defeat Thursday in Tampa Bay. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Flexen scattered six singles and was the beneficiary of two double plays. At one point he retired 12 consecutive batters. The righty has now gone six innings or more in three consecutive starts. Not known as a strikeout pitcher, he has found other ways to limit runs and has a respectable 3.38 ERA and 1.17 WHIP on the season. His next start will likely be early next week in Houston.
