Eickhoff allowed five runs on nine hits over 5.2 innings in a 5-3 loss to the Dodgers on Friday. He struck out three and walked three.

EDGE Analysis

Eickhoff told Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia after the game that he struggled with his release point on his curveball all night. He's now 0-2 with a 3.56 ERA and a 28:11 K:BB in 30.1 innings. He'll face the Cubs in his next start.

Eickhoff's next start will come Friday against the Dodgers, J.P. Hoornstra of the Southern California News Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

In his last start Saturday, he threw only five innings, which broke a streak of three straight quality starts to begin the year. In that effort, however, he only gave up one run on two hits and two walks while striking out seven. He's off to a dynamite start this year but will face a tough test in a Dodgers lineup that's excelled against right-handed hurlers this year with a .774 OPS.

Eickhoff allowed three runs on eight hits and one walk across six innings en route to a no-decision Sunday against the Nationals. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Eickhoff allowed an RBI double to Anthony Rendon in the first inning and a two-run homer to Bryce Harper in the third, but he allowed just three baserunners the rest of the way and put his team in a position to make things interesting at the end of the game. He pounded the strike zone at a 71 percent clip and his only walk was of the intentional variety. Eickhoff has turned in a quality start all three times he has taken the hill this season, but a meager four runs of support has left him without a win. He'll take a 2.75 ERA into Saturday's matchup with the Braves.

Eickhoff went seven innings against the Mets on Monday, allowing just two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out seven. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

In fact, the Phillies went on to lose despite Eickhoff quite arguably outpitching New York ace Jacob deGrom. He's turned in a pair of sterling outings to open the season, with those 13 strikeouts in 13.2 innings particularly worth noting. Eickhoff put up a 7.6 K/9 last year, but it was 8.6 in 2015; if he can get back to that level, it'll be a serious boon for his fantasy value. That said, he'll draw a tough assignment this coming Sunday, when he's slated to start on the road against the Nationals.

Eickhoff (0-1) gave up two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out six over 6.2 innings in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

He traded goose eggs with Brandon Finnegan for six innings before Joey Votto deposited a mistake into the right-field seats to lead off the bottom of the seventh, sticking Eickhoff with a tough-luck loss to begin the season. A 1.4 HR/9 was the main blemish on the 26-year-old's stat line in 2016, and at least on Wednesday it didn't seem to be a flaw he's found a way to correct. Eickhoff's next start will come Monday at home against the Mets.

Eickhoff will start the second game of the season for the Phillies, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eickhoff was in the running for the Opening Day nod, but manager Pete Mackanin opted to go with Jeremy Hellickson. Eickhoff looked ready for the regular season Sunday against Tampa Bay. He allowed two runs on four hits over six innings with nine strikeouts and no walks.

Eickhoff is working on improving his changeup this spring, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eickhoff used his changeup just 5.2 percent of the time last season. If he can make strides with the pitch this spring it could help him improve on the .274 average and .822 OPS that left handed batters had against him last season. Eickhoff, who allowed one run over two innings in his spring debut Monday, is expected to start the second game of the regular season for the Phillies.

Eickhoff allowed one run on four hits over six innings Sunday against the Mets. He struck out eight and walked one.

EDGE Analysis

Eickhoff pitched well enough to get a win, but the Phillies did not take the lead until the bottom of the seventh Sunday. He finishes his first full season in the majors with an 11-14 record, a 3.65 ERA and a 167:42 K:BB in 197.1 innings.

Eickhoff allowed just a solo home run in four innings Tuesday before a rain delay ended his night. He struck out five and did not walk a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Eickhoff has allowed home runs in each of his last three starts, but most have been solo shots which have had minimal damage on his ERA. He is scheduled to pitch his final game of the season on Sunday.

Eickhoff (11-14) pitched seven innings, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

After serving up four bombs in his last start, Eickhoff surrendered three solo shots in this one, two of which were back-to-back blasts in his final frame. Surprisingly, the Phillies hammered White Sox ace Chris Sale, allowing Eickhoff to cruise to his career-high 11th victory. Wednesday marked the 26-year-old's sixth straight quality start, the best such streak of his career. He'll have a good opportunity to make it seven consecutive quality outings as Eickhoff draws the anemic Braves lineup in his next start Tuesday.
