Lopez (4-6) allowed five hits and two walks while striking out five over five scoreless innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez wasn't efficient -- he needed 95 pitches (63 strikes) to get through his five frames -- but he got the job done against a depleted Arizona lineup. The southpaw had a middling July, posting a 5.30 ERA in 18.2 innings across four starts, though he has tossed 9.1 scoreless frames over his last two outings. For the season, Lopez has a 3.99 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 84:30 K:BB through 70 innings over 17 appearances (13 starts), which could make him a serviceable option in deeper mixed and AL-only formats. He's lined up for a favorable road start versus the Nationals next week.

Lopez did not factor into the decision in Saturday's game against the Astros, allowing two hits and four walks while striking out four across 4.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez allowed two baserunners in each of the first two innings of Saturday's start but managed to escape without yielding a run. He finished his outing with 10 whiffs, but he couldn't make it through five innings to be in line for the win after tossing 95 pitches (53 strikes). Lopez sits at a 4.29 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 65 innings heading into his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Diamondbacks.

Lopez (3-6) took the loss against Texas on Monday, allowing five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six batters over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez was hurt by the long ball in the defeat, allowing a solo blast and a three-run shot to account for most of the damage against him. The five runs were the most he's given up since June 3 (a span of eight starts). Lopez did at least manage to complete five innings -- just the second time he's done so over his past four outings -- but he's faded after giving up just one run over 23 innings during a four-game span in June. In his four starts since that impressive stretch, Lopez has posted a 7.13 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB over 17.2 frames.

Lopez (3-5) picked up the win in Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander continues to give up some hard contact -- all four hits off Lopez went for extra bases, including a solo shot by Leo Jimenez in the second inning -- but he was able to minimize the damage. Lopez has been on a roll over the last month-plus, posting a 2.52 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 43:11 K:BB in his last seven outings and 35.2 innings, and his spot in the rotation should be secure coming out of the All-Star break.

Lopez (2-5) allowed four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out eight over 4.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez had a shaky first inning and gave up a run when Willy Adames drew a bases-loaded walk. Adames added a solo home run in the fourth inning, and Lopez found more trouble in the fifth before his exit. The southpaw has allowed eight runs (seven earned) over his last two starts, covering 7.2 innings with a 9:2 K:BB in that span. He's walked precisely one batter in seven of his last nine outings, but the overall results have been fairly mixed. For the season, he has a 4.26 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 64:19 K:BB through 50.2 innings over 13 appearances (nine starts). Lopez is lined up to make his next start at home versus the Blue Jays.

Lopez was forced to settle for a no-decision after throwing 3.1 innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and one walk while striking out one, during Monday's 6-4 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Flying high entering play on a three-game streak of quality starts, Lopez came back down to Earth a bit. The left-hander didn't have his best stuff, striking out only one batter, and the four runs he allowed Monday doubled the amount of runs he'd allowed in his last four starts combined, a stretch of time spanning 23 innings. Despite his tough outing, the 27-year-old still carries an ERA of 3.88 through 46.1 innings on the season. The Giants await Lopez in his next start, scheduled for Sunday.

Lopez (2-4) earned the win Wednesday over the Tigers, allowing three hits and a walk across seven scoreless innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez was excellent Wednesday, blanking a Detroit team that had scored 20 runs over their previous two games. Lopez has turned in three straight quality starts, allowing just one run while striking out 24 over 19 innings in that span. The left-hander's lowered his ERA to 3.56 with a 1.30 WHIP and 55:17 K:BB through 43 innings this season. Lopez will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week in Tampa Bay.

Lopez allowed one run on four hits and three walks while striking out nine over six innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez earned his third quality start of the year, and he's allowed just two runs (one earned) over 16 innings across his last three appearances. He's struck out nine batters in three of his last four starts. Lopez is now at a 4.25 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 49:16 K:BB through 36 innings over 10 appearances (six starts) this season. The southpaw has pitched well enough to maintain a spot in the Athletics' rotation, but he's projected for a tough road matchup versus the Tigers next week.

Lopez (1-4) earned the win Saturday, allowing three hits and one walk over six scoreless innings against the Royals. He struck out nine.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez was spectacular as he set a new career high in strikeouts. The 27-year-old has bounced between the majors and minors, as well as between the bullpen and rotation, but he's been excellent in his past two appearances, allowing no earned runs over 10 innings while posting a 14:3 K:BB.

Lopez didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Baltimore, allowing one unearned run on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts over four innings.

EDGE Analysis

Lopez allowed 12 runs and five homers across six innings over his last two appearances, but he fared much better Sunday. Lopez has flashed some elite strikeout stuff, fanning eight or more batters in two of his last four outings, though he's stumbled to a 7.20 ERA in 24 innings this season. He's tentatively scheduled to make another start next weekend at Kansas City.
