Qualls has given up four earned runs and seven hits in four innings to start the season. He has also stuck out two batters in that time.

EDGE Analysis

Qualls gave up runs in half of his appearances this season, and although two runs were unearned, he also served up two home runs already, which is somewhat troublesome. That being said, the right-hander is typically an extremely groundball-heavy pitcher, so the home run woes very well could lessen as the season goes along, which could also bring his ERA back down. Unfortunately, between the slow start and the rise of Miguel Castro into the setup role, Qualls hasn't been getting a lot of high-leverage innings, but those could come if the young Castro struggles or if injuries strike the integral parts of the Rockies bullpen.
