Springs (9-7) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings to earn the win over the Astros on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Springs received ample run support as the Athletics' offense unleashed a six-homer barrage, including four by rookie Nick Kurtz. Springs did well to never let the Astros get close, giving up just a two-run home run to Zack Short in the fifth inning. This was Springs' third quality start in his last four outings, a span in which he's surrendered 11 runs and four homers over 22.2 innings, though he has a 16:2 K:BB in that span. Overall, the southpaw is at a 4.13 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 95:39 K:BB through 120 innings over 22 appearances (20 starts this season). He's lined up for a home start versus the Mariners next week.

Springs (8-7) took the loss Sunday against Cleveland, allowing five runs on nine hits over four innings. He struck out four and did not issue a walk.
EDGE Analysis
Springs got off to a rocky start, giving up a run before registering an out in the first inning. Things unraveled further in the fourth, when he allowed the bases to load up and then served up a bases-clearing double to David Fry, turning a manageable deficit into a decisive blow. The loss snaps a short streak of quality outings for the left-hander, whose ERA has now climbed to 4.18 with a 1.22 WHIP and 90:38 K:BB over 114 innings this season.

He's produced a 2.94 ERA across 49 frames since the start of June, lowering his season ERA to 3.93. Springs has tossed 110 innings this year and should soon surpass his career high of 135.1 innings set in 2022.

Springs (7-6) allowed a run on six hits and a walk while striking out two over six innings to earn the win over Atlanta on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Springs continued a strong stretch -- over his last five starts, he's given up just nine runs (seven earned). He's not overwhelming hitters with strikeouts, and he continues to be prone to the long ball, having allowed five long balls in that five-start span, including a solo shot to Eli White in this outing. For the season, Springs has a 3.92 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 81:38 K:BB with 17 homers allowed over 103.1 innings over 19 appearances (17 starts). He is tentatively lined up for a home start versus the surging Blue Jays over the weekend.

Springs allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four in 5.1 innings Tuesday against the Rays. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Springs was hurt by the home run ball, with Christopher Morel and Brandon Lowe both taking him deep for solo blasts in the second and third innings, respectively. Springs was otherwise able to limit the damage, though he fell short of a quality start after Junior Caminero knocked him out of the game with a one-out double in the sixth. Springs has now allowed three earned runs or fewer in 11 of 12 starts dating back to the beginning of May, but he has just one win since May 18. Springs is projected to take the mound again next week versus Atlanta.

Springs (6-5) allowed one run on three hits and a walk while striking out six over 7.1 innings to earn the win Friday over the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
Springs kept the Guardians off the board until Angel Martinez's solo home run in the eighth inning. This was Springs' longest outing of the year, and he threw 69 of 104 pitches for strikes to earn his second quality start in a row. He seems to have benefited from making a couple of appearances behind an opener. Springs is now at a 4.24 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 72:32 K:BB over 87 innings through 16 outings (14 starts), and he's walked just three batters over 26 innings in June. The southpaw is projected for a tough road matchup versus the Tigers next week.

Springs took a no-decision in Sunday's 3-2 win at Kansas City, conceding two runs on seven hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran lefty continues to heat up, as he now sports a 3.86 ERA over 18.2 innings in June after entering the month with a 4.72 mark. Both runs Springs allowed came in the third, as he managed to generate 11 whiffs in this 89-pitch performance. The 32-year-old has been a vastly different pitcher away from Sacramento this season -- he has pitched to a 3.83 ERA across 47 road innings opposed to a 5.51 ERA in 32.2 home frames. Springs will look to lower that home ERA in his next start, currently slated to be against the Guardians in Sacramento next weekend.

Springs (5-5) allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits and struck out eight without walking a batter over six innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Springs worked behind an opener for the second outing in a row, and the results have been mixed at best. He's allowed eight runs (six earned) over 12.2 innings in that span, though he also has a 15:2 K:BB across those two bulk-relief appearances. He's gone winless in five straight outings and now has a 4.64 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 64:31 K:BB through 73.2 innings over 14 appearances (12 starts) this season. Springs is tentatively scheduled for a road outing versus the Royals in his next appearance, though it's not yet clear whether he'll operate as a starter or follow an opener once again.
