Lorenzen (3-5) allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over 4.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Lorenzen gave up two runs in the fourth inning and one more in the fifth, which ended up being enough to stick him with his second loss in a row. This is the third time he's failed to complete five innings this season -- he exited at 97 pitches (64 strikes) in a somewhat inefficient outing. The right-hander is now at a 3.77 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 50:16 K:BB over 57.1 innings across 10 starts. Lorenzen's next start is projected to be at home versus the Reds.

Lorenzen (3-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Astros after allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk in 7.1 innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Although Wednesday marked Lorenzen's longest outing of the season, he gave up greater than three runs for just the third time in nine starts. While the veteran right-hander matched a season worst with seven hits allowed, he's now tossed at least six frames in four of his past five appearances. Lorenzen will look to continue providing length for the Royals in his next scheduled start against the Giants next week, when he'll carry a steady 3.76 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 45:15 K:BB over 52.2 innings in 2025.

Lorenzen didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Red Sox after pitching seven shutout innings, allowing three hits while striking out seven batters. He did not issue a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Getting through seven scoreless frames on just 90 pitches feels like too good of a performance not to be rewarded with a win, but that's what happens when your offense doesn't put any runs on the board until the 11th inning. The 33-year-old entered the game with a 4.23 ERA and 1.41 WHIP, but those numbers have dropped to 3.57 and 1.26, respectively, following his longest outing of the season. He'll look to keep his momentum going and collect his first win of May next week in Houston.

He generated an impressive 13 whiffs on 85 pitches but failed to complete five innings for just the second time in seven starts.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday's contest will be made up as part of a doubleheader Thursday, and Lorenzen will take the mound for the nightcap, per Anne Rogers of MLB.com.

He has allowed at least five hits in each of his first four starts of the 2025 season and has a 4.57 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 17:7 across 21.2 innings to begin the year.

So far, the 33-year-old has pitched into the sixth and allowed three earned runs or fewer in all three of his starts. He'll take a 3.71 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB across 17 frames into a road matchup with the Tigers next week.
