Harrison didn't factor in the decision Friday against the Pirates after he struck out seven and allowed five hits and no walks across six scoreless innings.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison generated 13 swinging strikes on 93 pitches as he gave up fewer than three earned runs in a start for the first time since his season debut. The right-hander missed out on his third win, however, as the Giants didn't score until Patrick Bailey's walk-off, three-run homer in the ninth. Harrison has a 4.09 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 31:5 K:BB over 33 innings through five starts this season.

Harrison took a no-decision Saturday versus the Diamondbacks, permitting three runs on six hits and one walk over four innings. He notched five strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison had a 1-2-3 second inning but labored in all three of his other frames, ultimately getting pulled after throwing 74 pitches over just four innings. He averaged just 91.9 mph with his four-seamer, which is down 1.3 mph from his average for the year. If there are silver linings, it's Harrison striking out more than a batter per frame and also not giving up any home runs, as bat-missing and the long ball have been issues in his first four starts. His next outing should come at home against the Pirates.

Harrison (2-1) earned the win Monday, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk over 6.0 innings against the Marlins. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison turned in another solid outing Monday, yielding three or fewer runs for the third time in four starts. However, Harrison gave up a solo home run to Avisail Garcia in the second inning for his fifth long ball allowed on the year. After a solid rookie campaign, Harrison has proven to be a reliable arm in the back end of San Francisco's rotation. The 22-year-old is expected to make another start Saturday against the D-Backs.

Harrison (1-1) didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks over 6.0 innings against Washington. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison turned in his second quality start of 2024 on Tuesday and had most of the damage against him come on one swing of the bat, with CJ Abrams hitting a two-run home run. Harrison has surrendered a long ball in each of his three starts this season but has been a solid arm on the back end of the Giants rotation, owning a 4.76 ERA and a strong 17:3 K:BB through 17.0 innings.

Harrison (1-1) took the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison picked up the win in a strong season debut against San Diego last Friday, but he was far less effective in his second start. Los Angeles tagged him for four runs between the second and fourth frames, and the southpaw allowed at least one runner to reach base in each of his five innings. Harrison is San Francisco's top pitching prospect and should be given ample opportunity to develop, but Wednesday's outing is a reminder that he's likely to go through some growing pains along the way.

Harrison (1-0) earned the win Friday against San Diego, allowing two runs on six hits over six innings. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison was sharp Friday, blanking the Padres through the first three innings before ultimately surrendering just two runs on a pair of solo homers. The 22-year-old southpaw went 1-1 in seven starts as a rookie last year, posting a 4.15 ERA with a 1.15 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB. Harrison has shown that he can be an effective MLB starter, despite struggling with the home-run ball early in his career. He's tentatively lined up for a tough road matchup versus the Dodgers in his next outing.

Harrison threw two hitless innings Sunday versus the Rangers, striking out four and hitting a batsman. Harrison has used his cutter more after developing it in 2023 but used it on a limited basis, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison relied on the cutter, which sat in the 90-91 mph range, to maintain an advantage over hitters when he got ahead in the count. The southpaw is expected to make a big leap in 2024 after making seven major-league starts with a 4.15 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB across 34.2 innings last season. With the Giants' rotation already hammered by injuries, Harrison is expected to be the No. 2 starter behind ace Logan Webb.

Harrison did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing just two walks over five scoreless innings against the Dodgers. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison ended his rookie campaign on a high note, no-hitting the Dodgers over five innings. The 22-year-old southpaw had struggled to a 6.30 ERA in his previous four outings (20 innings). Harrison will end the campaign with a 4.15 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB across seven starts (34.2 innings) as he looks to earn a rotation spot to start the 2024 season.

Harrison (illness) is lined up to start Sunday's season finale against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison was scratched from his last scheduled turn Tuesday versus the Padres because of an illness, but he's checked out fine in the days since. The talented young left-hander holds a 4.85 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB through his first six major-league starts (29.2 innings) this season with San Francisco.

Harrison (illness) will start one of the games during the Giants' weekend series against the Dodgers, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harrison was originally supposed to start Tuesday's game against San Diego, but he was instead scratched due to an illness. However, his illness will not put an early end to his season, and he will make an appearance in the final series of the season -- though the Giants haven't yet specified exactly which game that will be. The 22-year-old southpaw has given up 16 earned runs in 29.2 frames across six starts since being called up to the majors in late August.
