Sears (4-4) took the loss against the Angels on Wednesday, allowing six runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Sears came into contest having served up a modest six homers over nine starts, but the Angels tagged him for four long balls Wednesday, including two off the bat of catcher Logan O'Hoppe. After yielding three or fewer runs in each of his first eight outings of the campaign, Sears has hit a rough spot in his past two starts, surrendering 10 runs across nine innings. That's pushed his season ERA up over a run (from 2.80 to 4.00) and resulted in consecutive losses for the first time this year. The lefty will try to right the ship his next time out, which lines up to be a road matchup against Houston.

Sears (4-3) allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two over four innings to take the loss Friday versus the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Sears was fine through two innings, but he ran into trouble in the third. Wilmer Flores took him deep for a grand slam in that frame to finish a 10-pitch at-bat. The four runs allowed were a season high for Sears, and he's given up six homers over nine starts. The southpaw still has a respectable 3.31 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 38:10 K:BB across 49 innings despite this inefficient start. He's projected for a home start versus the Angels his next time out.

Sears has given up two runs or fewer in five straight starts, and through 45 innings on the season he sports a 2.80 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in San Francisco.

Sears (1-1) earned the win over Colorado on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 6.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Sears fell behind 3-0 through three innings, but he didn't give up any runs thereafter, and an Athletics comeback helped him pick up his first win of the campaign. The southpaw has notched a quality start in each of his two outings so far this season after achieving that feat 13 times in 32 starts last year. Sears will look to keep rolling his next time on the mound, which is projected to be next week at home against the Mets.

Sears was sharp Sunday, blanking Seattle through five innings before giving up a two-run homer to Julio Rodriguez in the sixth. The A's could muster only one run off Bryan Woo, leaving Sears with a hard-luck loss in his season debut. The 29-year-old left-hander was decent in 2024, going 11-13 with a 4.38 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 137:49 K:BB across 32 starts (180.2 innings). Sears will hope for better luck in his second start, currently scheduled for next week in Colorado.
