May did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over 6.2 innings against the Padres. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

May now ranks eighth in MLB with a 0.94 WHIP. The right-hander also now has four straight starts allowing two runs or less, and he never tosses less than five innings in a game. The 25-year-old is one of the most dependable options in the league heading his next tentative start against the Twins.

May (4-1) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out six over six scoreless innings to earn the win Saturday over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

May was bumped back in the rotation, and it appears the extra time served him well. This was his best start since his season debut, and he was able to earn his third win in a row. The right-hander has a 2.68 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 29:15 K:BB over 40.1 innings through seven outings. He'll look to keep it up in his next start, tentatively scheduled for a rematch with San Diego next week, this time in Los Angeles.

May (3-1) picked up the win against St. Louis on Friday, allowing two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out four batters over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

May gave up just three hits in the contest, two of which were doubles off the bat of Paul Goldschmidt. However, the right-handed hurler threw just 67 of 104 pitches for a strike and tied a season high with four free passes. Control has been an issue for May in the early going this year, as he has posted a 10.3 percent walk rate through his first six starts. His 16.9 percent strikeout rate isn't promising either, but May has recorded a solid 3.15 ERA and 0.99 WHIP by holding opposing batters to just 20 hits -- including only one home run -- over 34.1 innings.

May (2-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks over 5.1 innings during a 9-4 victory over the Cubs. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

May allowed a leadoff single to Nico Hoerner and walked the next two batters, but he got out of the first inning surrendering just one run on an RBI groundout by Seiya Suzuki. The right-hander got tagged for another run in the fourth when Eric Hosmer ripped an RBI double and was pulled in the sixth with a runner on first and one out. May has failed to get through the sixth inning in three straight starts, allowing multiple runs in each of those contests after giving up just one run over his first two outings (13 innings). His six strikeouts were a season high, and he owns a modest 19:10 K:BB through 29.1 innings.

May allowed five runs on eight hits while striking out one batter over 5.2 innings Monday in an 8-6 loss to the Mets. He didn't factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

May issued four walks in his previous start, so it was a positive that he didn't give up any free passes Monday. That was one of the only positive takeaways for the right-hander, who surrendered a season-worst five runs and recorded a season-low one strikeout. Most of the damage against May came in the fourth inning, when the Mets put up three runs on three singles and a hit batsman. May still holds a solid 3.00 ERA on the campaign, and he'll look to get back on track his next time out, which is lined up to be in Chicago this weekend.

May dropped to 1-1 after giving up two earned runs on two hits and four walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

After opening the season with two straight quality starts, May couldn't meet the six-inning threshold after his struggles to find the strike zone pushed up his pitch count. He began the game with back-to-back free passes, with both LaMonte Wade and Michael Conforto coming around to score on Joc Pederson's one-out double. May tightened things up thereafter and ended the start on a positive note by retiring four of the final five batters he faced while inducing a double play along the way, but he took the loss after opposing starter Alex Wood and five Giants relievers kept the Dodgers' bats quiet for the night.

May (1-0) earned the win over Arizona on Thursday, pitching six innings and allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out five batters.

EDGE Analysis

May kept the Diamondbacks off the scoreboard for five frames before a walk and a double gave Arizona a run with no outs in the sixth. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts elected to stick with the right-hander, who bounced back to retire the next three batters and record the quality start. May missed most of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he has pitched well and without limitations so far in 2023, allowing just one run while posting a 9:3 K:BB over 13 innings across his first two starts.

May didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Diamondbacks, allowing three hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings while striking out four.

EDGE Analysis

The big right-hander generated plenty of weak contact among his 84 pitches (56 strikes) and was in line for the win before Alex Vesia served up a two-run homer to Kyle Lewis in the eighth inning. May's top priority in 2023 is just to stay on the mound after throwing only 74 innings over the last two years across all levels. If the 25-year-old can avoid the injured list he has the stuff to put together a breakout campaign. May's next turn in the rotation figures to be a road rematch with the Diamondbacks next week.

May completed 5.2 innings in a Cactus League start against Kansas City on Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and no walks while striking out four batters.

EDGE Analysis

May's outing was the longest by a Dodgers pitcher this spring and puts him in line to handle a nearly full workload once the regular season begins. The right-hander was tagged by Bobby Witt Jr. for a three-run homer in the third inning but otherwise allowed just one run. May is scheduled to start Los Angeles' second game of the season Friday at home against Arizona.

May will make his first start of the regular season in the Dodgers' second game of the campaign, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers announced Friday that lefty Julio Urias will take the mound Opening Day, and the team prefers to follow him in the rotation with a right-hander rather than another southpaw. Consequently, May is scheduled to take the mound March 31 while Clayton Kershaw will start the team's third game April 1.
