Kaprielian registered a no-decision during Tuesday's 14-7 victory over Texas, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk with four strikeouts in five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprielian settled down after surrendering a two-run Marcus Semien homer in the first to allow only one more run on three baserunners over the next four frames. The mediocre start snapped a two-game streak of six innings and one run surrendered for the 28-year-old, who now possesses a 5.09 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 45 strikeouts in 69 innings. He lines up for one last start Sunday in Houston before the All-Star break.

Kaprielian tossed six innings, giving up one run on five hits and four walks while striking out one in Wednesday's loss to the Blue Jays. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprielian held the Blue Jays in check Wednesday, limiting the damage to just one run on a homer by Matt Chapman to open the seventh inning, ultimately ending his day on the mound. The 28-year-old has now produced back-to-back quality starts after failing to produce any in his first 11 outings of the campaign. Over his last four starts, Kaprielian has compiled a 2.78 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 14 strikeouts over 22.2 innings. He now owns a 5.06 ERA and 1.39 WHIP with 41 punchouts over 64 frames in 13 starts this year.

Kaprielian (1-5) allowed a run on three hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings, earning the win Friday over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprielian gave up a run on a groundout in the sixth inning, which accounted for all of the damage on his line. It's been a difficult season for the right-hander this year -- this was the first time he's completed six innings, and the second time he's limited an opponent to one run or less. He still has a rough-looking 5.43 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 40:27 K:BB across 58 innings in 12 starts. Kaprielian will look to build off this positive outing next week against the Blue Jays.

Kaprielian did not factor into the decision against the Royals on Sunday, allowing three runs on two hits while striking out two and walking four in 5.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprielian threw 48 of 84 pitches for strikes across 5.1 frames Sunday. Despite allowing two hits, he allowed three runners to cross the plate thanks to four free passes given to Royals batters. The righty has yet to make it through six innings in any of his 11 games this season. Kaprielian has also been unable to keep opponents from scoring, allowing at least one run in every game, including six games with three or more earned runs. He will take a 5.88 ERA into his next appearance.

Kaprielian (0-5) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in 5.1 innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprielian was responsible for a Taylor Trammell solo home run in the third inning and Jesse Winker's RBI double in the sixth. Despite the hard contact, this was up there with the more efficient of Kaprielian's 10 starts this season, and the seven strikeouts matched a season high. He's still struggling a bit with a 5.98 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 34:21 K:BB through 46.2 innings overall. He's expected to draw a favorable road start versus the Royals this weekend.

Kaprielian (0-4) allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits and six walks with two strikeouts in 3.2 innings, taking the loss Wednesday versus the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprielian was inefficient, throwing 48 of 94 pitches for strikes. This was a season-worst performance in runs, hits and walks, though he wasn't hurt too much by the long ball since he only surrendered one homer. The right-hander hasn't shown much quality in 41.1 innings across nine starts, logging a 6.31 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 27:19 K:BB. He's yet to pitch deeper than the sixth inning. Kaprielian lines up for a home start versus the Mariners next week.

Kaprielian did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits and zero walks over five innings against Cleveland. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprielian gave up back-to-back solo home runs to Jose Ramirez and Josh Naylor to lead off the fourth inning, but those were the right-hander's only blemishes on the night. Thursday's performance marked the fourth time this season he's allowed two or fewer runs. Across eight starts and 37.2 innings, the third-year pitcher sports a 5.73 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with a 25:13 K:BB. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday's contest in Boston.

Kaprielian (0-3) took the loss during Friday's 7-2 defeat at the hands of the Red Sox, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks with one strikeout in 5.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Kaprielian surrendered two runs on three baserunners in the fourth inning and the bullpen let in two runs in the sixth after he put two runners on with one out. The 28-year-old has now lost three of eight starts and will take a 6.06 ERA and 1.35 WHIP into a start against Atlanta next week.

Kaprielian allowed four runs on six hits and struck out two over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
On the bright side, Kaprielian didn't walk a batter for the first time in six appearances this season. This was the third time he's allowed four or more runs, and it's his second start of less than five innings on the campaign. He's struggled to a 5.93 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB across 27.1 innings overall. The right-hander projects to start next week at home versus the Red Sox.

Kaprielian registered a no-decision during Tuesday's 7-5 victory over Seattle, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts in five innings.
EDGE Analysis
After looking good early Kaprielian struggled the second and third times through the order, allowing two runs in the third and three in the fifth on six baserunners between the two innings. The 28-year-old tossed 50 of 74 pitches for strikes and has now recorded three strikeouts or fewer in three of his five starts. Kaprielien will carry a 5.48 ERA and 1.35 WHIP into his next start, projected to come this weekend against Texas.
