Leiter came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Yankees, giving up two runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
The young righty needed threw only 33 of 68 pitches for strikes before getting the hook, as Leiter failed to complete at least five innings for the third time in six starts since the beginning of July. Despite those struggles, he's still managed to post a respectable 3.45 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 28.2 innings over that stretch, albeit with a 1.46 WHIP and 20 walks. Leiter will look to improve his efficiency in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Diamondbacks.

Leiter allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Leiter had a 12-pitch at-bat against Cole Young that ended in a walk in the fifth inning, getting the Texas right-hander's pitch count up faster than expected. He was charged with one run in that frame when Hoby Milner allowed an inherited runner to score. Leiter had reached the five-inning mark in each of his previous three starts, winning all of them with six runs allowed over 17.1 innings in that span, so this was a step back. He's also walked at least three batters in four straight starts. Leiter now has a 4.10 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 90:48 K:BB through 96.2 innings across 19 starts this season. Kumar Rocker was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, so it looks like Leiter will hold onto his rotation spot after the Rangers acquired Merrill Kelly from the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Leiter is projected to make his next start at home versus the Yankees.

Leiter (7-6) allowed a run on two hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win over Atlanta on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Leiter allowed three of those baserunners and the lone run on his line in the second inning, but he settled down well after that and received plenty of run support. He's won three starts in a row, allowing just six runs over his last 17.1 innings despite a 20:11 K:BB in that span. Leiter is now at a 4.09 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 83:45 K:BB through 92.1 innings across 18 starts this season. His next start is projected to be at Seattle.

Leiter (6-6) earned the win over the Athletics on Monday, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out seven batters over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Leiter held the A's scoreless until Tyler Soderstrom knocked an RBI single in the fourth inning. The right-handed hurler allowed one more run on a Nick Kurtz solo homer in the sixth, but Leiter started the second half of the season the same way he finished the first -- with a win. It's been an up-and-down campaign for the 25-year-old, and his 4.27 ERA is far from exceptional. However, Leiter has been showing positive signs of late, posting a 3.43 ERA with a 25:10 K:BB over 21 innings across his past four starts.

Leiter (5-6) picked up the win after throwing 5.1 innings, allowing three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out six, during Friday's 7-3 win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Leiter did enough to pick up the win Friday, aided by five runs of support during his outing, but struggled with his control again. The right-hander walked four batters to bring his season total up to 38 in 80.1 innings. On the flip side, the 25-year-old has struck out 18 batters over his last three starts, his most over a three-start stretch at any point this season. He enters the All-Star break with a 4.37 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 1.8 K/BB this season.

Leiter (4-6) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over 3.2 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't an outright bad performance, but Leiter's pitch count got up early, and he was pulled at 85 pitches (54 strikes) after running into trouble in the fourth inning. He's fallen short of the five-inning mark in three of his last five starts while allowing 16 runs with a 21:10 K:BB over 23.1 innings in that span. Overall, Leiter has a 4.32 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 63:34 K:BB across 75 innings through 15 starts this season. The 25-year-old is projected to make his next start in Houston.

Leiter didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Seattle, allowing one run on seven hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Leiter posted his first quality start in seven appearances, completing at least six frames for just the third time this season. The 25-year-old will end June on a high note after allowing 13 runs with a 9:8 K:BB in 13.2 innings during his past three outings. He took a loss in all three appearances. Leiter will take a 4.29 ERA into his next start, which is tentatively scheduled to come in San Diego next weekend.

Leiter took the loss against the Pirates on Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts over four innings.
EDGE Analysis
Leiter opened with three scoreless frames before allowing three runs in the fourth and exiting after walking the leadoff hitter in the fifth. During his current stretch of three straight losses, the 25-year-old has gone just four innings twice while allowing 13 earned runs and posting a 9:8 K:BB. He'll carry a 4.55 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 51:32 K:BB across 65.1 innings into a home matchup with the Mariners next weekend.

Leiter (4-4) was saddled with the loss Tuesday against the Royals, giving up six runs on eight hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
The hard-throwing right-hander was hurt by the long ball once again, serving up a season-high three home runs Tuesday and at least one in his third straight start. Leiter also tied a season high in both hits and runs allowed while he was hit hard for five extra-base knocks. He'll look to improve on his shaky 4.40 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 49:30 K:BB over 61.1 innings this weekend in a favorable matchup against the Pirates, who have a .627 OPS since the start of May.

Leiter (4-3) took the loss against Minnesota on Wednesday, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out three batters over four-plus innings.
EDGE Analysis
Leiter gave up a three-run homer to Byron Buxton in the third inning to account for most of the damage against him. The right-hander also struggled with his control, throwing just 51 of 87 pitches for strikes and issuing four free passes. Leiter had been pitching well entering Wednesday, posting a 2.20 ERA and 1.05 WHIP over five starts since his previous loss May 8, so he has earned himself a lengthy leash in terms of the security of his rotation spot. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is projected to be a matchup at home versus Kansas City.
