EDGE Analysis

After getting tagged for three home runs versus Toronto in his Twins debut, Mahle put together a much more convincing encore against the Angels. This was his third quality start in his last four outings, with all three of those positive performances producing wins. The right-hander lowered his ERA to 4.26 with a 1.21 WHIP and 125:42 K:BB through 116.1 innings between the Twins and the Reds this year. He'll look to build off this effort next week in an enticing projected home start versus the Royals.
