EDGE Analysis

Williams tied his season high with five runs allowed and walked at least three batters for the fourth time over his past five outings. He's also given up a home run in six straight starts and eight total during that stretch. Overall, the right-hander holds a 4.50 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB across 14 appearances (70 innings). Despite his struggles, Williams remains a steady piece of Washington's rotation and is scheduled to pitch again during a three-game series versus the Cardinals.
