Ortiz allowed three runs on four hits and five walks while striking out three over five innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis

The Tigers put up all their runs against him in the first inning, though Ortiz was in line for the loss before the Guardians tied the game in the eighth. The right-hander is now at a 4.73 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 59:28 K:BB across 53.1 innings on the year. He is projected to make his next start at home versus the Angels.

Ortiz (2-4) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out nine over six innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Ortiz logged his third quality start of the season, with the lone blemish being a Kyle Schwarber solo shot in the second inning. Two of those quality starts have been in Ortiz's last three outings, though he had a clunker in between those efforts by allowing six runs (five earned) to the Nationals on Tuesday. Ortiz's overall numbers are still rather pedestrian -- he's at a 4.78 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 49:21 K:BB through 43.1 innings over eight starts, but he has shown flashes of potential. The 26-year-old's next start is projected to be at Cincinnati.

Ortiz came away with a no-decision in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals, coughing up six runs (five earned) on five hits and three walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
The big blow off Ortiz was a two-run blast by James Wood in the third inning, but the right-hander also dealt with runners in scoring position in the first, fifth and sixth innings in the wild 10-9 loss. Ortiz tossed only 48 of 85 pitches for strikes before getting the hook, and he'll carry a 5.30 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 40:19 K:BB through 37.1 innings into his next start, which lines up to come at home this weekend against the Phillies.
