Allen did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing two hits and three walks over four scoreless innings against the Athletics. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was able to keep the Athletics off the scoreboard over four innings, but he needed 89 pitches to do it before being relieved by Nick Sandlin to open the fifth. This comes after the lefty lasted just three innings in his previous start and he's now walked seven batters over his last seven innings of work. On a positive note, Allen was able to lower his ERA back down to 3.68 on the season with the scoreless outing and he'll look to bounce back at home next week when the Guardians take on the Royals.

Allen allowed five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two batters over three innings in a no-decision against San Diego on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was spotted a five-run lead before he even took the mound, but he gave three runs back on a Manny Machado homer in the bottom of the first. The left-handed hurler surrendered two more runs in the third and didn't make it back out for the fourth frame. Allen's lack of control was a major factor in his rough outing, as he walked a season-high four batters, two of whom ended up crossing the plate. The rookie started his career with a flourish, posting a 2.76 ERA over his first eight starts, but he's come back down to earth by allowing 10 runs across nine innings over his past two outings. Cal Quantrill (shoulder) has begun throwing bullpens, and Allen's starting spot could be in jeopardy when the former gets healthy.

Allen didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Astros, giving up five runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Most of the damage came on a three-run shot by Jose Abreu in the first inning, but Allen still exited after 85 pitches (58 strikes) in line for his third loss before Cleveland set an modern era record by coming back from five separate deficits in the seventh inning or later. The rookie southpaw hadn't allowed more than three earned runs in any of his first eight big-league starts, and he'll take a 3.31 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 51:15 K:BB through 51.2 innings into his next outing, likely to come next week in San Diego.

Allen (3-2) earned the win over Minnesota on Saturday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Allen surrendered a first-inning solo homer to Jorge Polanco but bounced back to allow only one more run over his remaining five frames. The southpaw registered his third straight quality start after notching just one such effort over his first five big-league outings. Allen was initially called up to the majors due to injuries in Cleveland's rotation, but he may have cemented a permanent big-league spot given his strong 2.76 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 47:13 K:BB through 45.2 innings. Even with Triston McKenzie (shoulder) slated to make his season debut Sunday, the Guardians likely won't need to make any decisions about the rotation spots of Allen and fellow rookie Tanner Bibee for at least a few weeks with Cal Quantrill (shoulder) hitting the injured list Friday.

Allen (2-2) earned the win Monday, allowing three hits and two walks across seven scoreless innings during a 5-0 victory over Baltimore. He struck out 10.
EDGE Analysis
Allen notched career-best marks in hits allowed, runs allowed, innings completed and strikeouts during his finest outing of the campaign thus far. The rookie was called up at the end of April and has been a steady piece of Cleveland's rotation, which continues to deal with numerous injuries. Triston McKenzie (shoulder) and Aaron Civale (oblique) are close to returning from the injured list, but it'll be difficult to demote Allen with the way he's been pitching. Across seven starts (39.2 innings), Allen sports a 2.72 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 43:11 K:BB.

Allen (1-2) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs (three runs) on seven hits and a walk over 6 innings against the White Sox. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was cruising through his first six innings, allowing just one run on a Yasmani Grandal home run in the fifth. However, he surrendered three hits and a walk without recording an out in the seventh as he took his second loss of the season. It's been an up-and-down rookie campaign so far for Allen -- he's been hurt by a .350 BABIP against, though he's managed to maintain a solid 3.31 ERA with a 1.44 WHIP and 33:9 K:BB through six outings (37.2 innings).

Allen did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk over 5.2 innings in a 3-1 win over the White Sox. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
Allen nearly had a disaster outing, as he loaded the bases in the second inning with no outs. But the lefty induced a pop up before two strikeouts to strand all three runners. Allen has flirted with danger recently, allowing seven or more hits in each of his last three starts. His 29 strikeouts in 26.2 innings have helped him keep a 3.04 ERA in his rookie season.

Allen yielded three runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings during Friday's loss to the Angels. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Allen worked through three shutout frames before the Angels brought home three runs in a long fourth inning. It was the shortest outing of his young career and his first time allowing more than two runs. The 24-year-old now holds a 3.43 ERA and a 24:7 K:BB through 21 innings. Allen is lined up for a road start against the White Sox next week.

Allen allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings Saturday versus the Twins. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
After two fairly impressive starts to begin his major-league career, Allen was a little less dominant Saturday. The damage against him came on a two-run home run by Max Kepler in the sixth inning. Over 16.2 innings, Allen still has a solid 2.70 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB. He'll look to keep up the good work next week versus the Angels.

Allen (1-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings against the Red Sox. He struck out eight.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was good again in his second MLB start. He allowed just two runs on Alex Verdugo's two-run single in the fifth inning. However, he took his first loss as the Guardians could only provide one supporting run. Allen has now struck out eight batters in each of his first two outings while issuing just three walks. The 24-year-old left-hander has a 1.50 ERA and 1.00 WHIP through his first 11 innings. Allen will likely make at least one more start for Cleveland with Triston McKenzie (shoulder) and Aaron Civale (oblique) still sidelined.
