Gordon (4-4) took the loss against Boston on Saturday, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six batters over four innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon actually gave up fewer hits than his counterpart Walker Buehler, who surrendered nine knocks over 4.1 frames. However, the types of hits given up by the pitchers were dramatically different -- Gordon surrendered five extra-base knocks, including three homers, while all but one of the hits against Buehler were singles. Gordon has had a problem with the long ball throughout the campaign, giving up multiple homers in five of his 14 outings and posting a 1.87 HR/9, seventh-worst among pitchers who have tossed at least 50 frames. He's managed to maintain a spot in the rotation despite a poor 5.27 ERA, but that may not be the case much longer, as Spencer Arrighetti (thumb), Cristian Javier (elbow) and Luis Garcia (elbow) are all nearing returns from the injured list.

Gordon (4-3) took the loss Sunday against the Athletics, yielding four runs on six hits and no walks over five innings with six strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

The Houston southpaw opened the first frame by conceding solo homers to Miguel Andujar and Shea Langeliers and was unable to recover. Gordon tossed 99 pitches, 66 of which were strikes, as he did manage to notch six Ks for the first time in seven appearances, dating back to May 31. Across 62.2 total frames, the 26-year-old rookie sports a 4.74 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 54:11 K:BB. Gordon is currently slated to make his next start at Boston next weekend; however, his future in the Astros rotation may be limited as Luis Garcia (elbow), Cristian Javier (elbow) and Lance McCullers (blister) all are nearing returns from their respective injuries.

Gordon (4-2) allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out four over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon was hit by a comebacker July 7 versus the Guardians but avoided the injured list and was cleared a day later. He pitched out of the bullpen prior to the All-Star break, tossing a scoreless inning against the Rangers on July 13. He was good enough in his return to the rotation Monday, coming up one out shy of a quality start while throwing 89 pitches (62 strikes) in the start. For the year, he's at a 4.53 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 48:11 K:BB through 57.2 innings over 12 appearances (11 starts). Gordon is tentatively scheduled for a favorable home start versus the Athletics this weekend.

Gordon has been cleared of a possible concussion after being struck in the head by a comebacker in Monday's loss to the Guardians, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon remained in Monday's game after the incident but was evaluated for a concussion as a precaution, and he passed all tests. The left-hander will be ready to pitch again when needed, although he's currently not scheduled to make another start before the All-Star break.

Gordon (3-2) took the loss after allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out two across 5.2 innings Monday night against the Guardians. After the game, it was revealed that Gordon is being evaluated for a concussion after being struck by a comebacker in the top of the fifth inning, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon managed to remain in the game after being struck by a line drive, but he'll understandably be sent for further evaluation after finishing out Monday's outing. He'll be considered day-to-day until the team has more information to share on his availability moving forward.

Gordon did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on nine hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Rockies. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander gave up a first-inning homer to Hunter Goodman and went on to allow a season-high nine hits, but he managed to limit the damage enough to help the Astros secure a win Tuesday. Gordon has been steady, if unspectacular, through nine starts this season, posting a 3-1 record with a 4.37 ERA and 1.41 WHIP over 45.1 innings.

Gordon (3-1) earned the win over Philadelphia on Wednesday, allowing four hits and striking out four batters over five scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon demonstrated excellent control in the outing, throwing 57 of 80 pitches for strikes and issuing zero walks. That's been the strongest point of his rookie campaign -- he now has a 38:5 K:BB over 40.2 innings. Gordon finished Wednesday's appearance without giving up a run for the first time this season, lowering his ERA to 3.98. The southpaw has been better than that of late, allowing two or fewer earned runs in each of his past four starts and registering a 3-0 record during that span. He's in line to face the Rockies at Coors Field in his next outing.

Gordon allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The long ball was again a problem for Gordon, who gave up solo home runs to Willie MacIver and Lawrence Butler in the second inning. This was the third time in four starts where Gordon has given up multiple homers, though he's done a decent job of limiting the damage when he can keep the ball down. He's yet to give up more than four runs in any start, but he's also pitched into the sixth inning just twice. He's at a 4.54 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 34:5 K:BB through 35.2 innings, and it's that sharp control that will eventually help him find success. Gordon has a tough matchup ahead, as his next start is projected to be at home versus the Phillies.

Gordon (2-1) picked up the win in Friday's 10-3 rout of the Twins, giving up two runs on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie southpaw produced his first career quality start on 102 pitches (67 strikes) -- in fact, it was the first time in six trips to the mound he's lasted at least six innings. Both runs off Gordon came on solo shots, and he's been taken deep six times in 30.2 innings to begin his big-league career, fueling a 4.70 ERA despite a sharp 30:4 K:BB. He's scheduled to make his next start on the road next week against the A's.

Gordon (1-1) earned the win against the Guardians on Friday, allowing one run on seven hits and no walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gordon opened with four scoreless frames before giving up a run in the fifth, turning in the best start of his major-league career. The rookie threw 49 of 75 pitches for strikes and generated nine whiffs, including five with his sweeper. He'll take a 5.11 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and an impressive 25:3 K:BB across 24.2 innings into a home matchup with the Twins next weekend.
