Pazos fired a scoreless sixth inning in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Twins, recording a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Pazos got through the frame in a quick 13 pitches while posting his third consecutive scoreless effort, and ninth in his last 10 appearances. The 26-year-old has his ERA down to a tidy 2.30, while his WHIP is at a solid 1.06. The southpaw also has an impressive 33:9 K:BB over 27.1 innings and provides considerable value as a left-handed, multi-inning bullpen option for manager Scott Servais.

Pazos notched his second hold of the season by firing a scoreless seventh inning in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old has put together three straight scoreless outings, although Thursday's appearance was his first in the last 14 games in which he did not record at least one strikeout. Pazos has effectively combined his high-90s fastball with above-average control, as he boasts a 27:8 K:BB over 20.2 innings.

Pazos fired 1.2 scoreless innings in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Athletics, racking up three strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
The hard-throwing lefty bounced back nicely after a couple of rocky outings, as he'd surrendered three runs and blown a save over his last two trips to the mound. Pazos continues to mow down hitters at an impressive clip as he's now notched at least one whiff in 12 straight appearances and notched multiple strikeouts in seven of those games. The 26-year-old's K/9 currently stands at 12.05 following Wednesday's effort and is complemented by a solid 2.40 ERA.

Pazos gave up a two-run home run and a walk over an inning in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jays. He also recorded a strikeout.
EDGE Analysis
Pazos was asked to preserve a 1-0 lead after starter Ariel Miranda had fired five strong innings, but he surrendered a 412-foot two-run shot to Justin Smoak that gave the Blue Jays a 2-1 lead. It was the first long ball that the 26-year-old righty had given up on the season, but it also marked the fifth run overall that he'd given up in six May appearances. Pazos was charged with his second blown save of the season as a result of blowing the lead, but he still sports a solid 2.65 ERA and 22 strikeouts over 17 innings.

Pazos (1-1) fired a scoreless seventh inning in Saturdays' 8-2 win over the Rangers, giving up a hit and recording three strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Pazos mowed through Carlos Gomez, Joey Gallo and Shin-Soo Choo in impressive fashion, getting all three on swinging strikes. The 26-year-old southpaw has proven to be a valuable lefty option out of the bullpen, posting scoreless outings in seven of his last eight trips to the mound, with two of those appearances multi-inning outings. He's yet to surrender a home run in 14 innings and sports an impressive 19:6 K:BB as well.

Pazos earned his first hold of the season in Friday's 3-1 win over the Indians, striking out four over 2.1 scoreless innings and giving up two hits.
EDGE Analysis
The young lefty has been one of the most reliable options for manager Scott Servais out of the bullpen, and he was especially sharp Friday against a dangerous Indians lineup. Pazos fired 21 of 29 pitches for strikes while posting his fifth straight scoreless outing and ninth in 10 appearances overall. Friday's effort also featured a season high in strikeouts for the 25-year-old, who now boasts a 1.64 ERA and 12:4 K:BB over 11 innings.

Pazos fired 1.1 scoreless innings in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Athletics, giving up a hit and a walk while striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
After a forgettable outing against the Astros on April 11 in which he failed to get an out and gave up a pair of earned runs, Pazos has bounced back with three straight scoreless appearances encompassing 2.2 innings. The stumble against Houston has actually been his only misstep of the season, as the former Yankees prospect has otherwise not given up a run over seven other trips to the mound. With a fastball that hits 96 mph on the gun, Pazos has been a viable late-inning option for manager Scott Servais thus far, and one that the latter has shown a willingness to afford plenty of work.

Pazos couldn't record an out after coming on in the sixth inning in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Astros, surrendering two earned runs on four hits.
EDGE Analysis
Pazos was inserted with the Mariners holding a slim 3-2 lead and Marwin Gonzalez and Brian McCann on first and second. He immediately surrendered an infield single to Yuri Gurriel and a bases-clearing double to Evan Gattis before yielding back-to-back singles to George Springer and Alex Bregman, the latter which drove home yet another run. It was the first poor outing of the season for the hard-throwing 25-year-old, who'd yet to surrender a run prior to Tuesday. Pazos retains plenty of strikeout upside and should continue to see robust usage out of the bullpen despite Tuesday's hiccup.

Pazos fired 1.1 scoreless innings in Monday's 3-0 Opening Day loss to the Astros,
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old was nearly perfect, getting four outs in just 11 pitches, nine of which found the strike zone. Despite an unsightly 6.35 ERA this spring, Pazos also notched three saves and generated an impressive 15:2 K:BB over 11.1 exhibition frames to earn a roster spot as a hard-throwing late-inning option for manager Scott Servais.
