SP BOS
Sandoval allowed a run on eight hits and two walks with six strikeouts in five innings, taking a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Sandoval let the second batter of the game, Julio Rodriguez, hit a solo home run, and that accounted for all of the damage on the southpaw's line. The 25-year-old was able to pitch around the other nine baserunners, throwing 62 of 95 pitches for strikes in a solid outing. Sandoval's submitted four straight starts where he's allowed two or fewer runs, lowering his season ERA to 2.63. He's added a 1.37 WHIP and 65:30 K:BB across 65 innings in 12 starts. He's projected for a tougher road start versus the Astros next weekend.

Sandoval allowed a run on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts in six innings, taking a no-decision in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Sandoval limited the damage to a Dylan Moore solo home run in the third inning, but Archie Bradley couldn't maintain the lead in the seventh. While Sandoval was denied the win for a fourth straight start, he's shown consistent improvement since a dud May 29 versus the Blue Jays. He's allowed five runs and 16 hits in 16.2 innings across his last three starts. The southpaw has a 2.70 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 59:28 K:BB in 60 innings across 11 outings, and he's projected to make his next start in a home rematch with the Mariners next weekend.

Sandoval (3-2) took the loss during Sunday's 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Mets, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks with eight strikeouts in six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Sandoval put a season-high 10 runners on Sunday but was able to strand a majority of them, though it wasn't enough as Los Angeles only put up one run of support. The eight strikeouts are one off the 25-year-old's season high as Sandoval recorded an impressive 20 swinging strikes on 87 pitches. Despite a recent rough patch, Sandoval still owns a 2.83 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with 54 strikeouts in 54 innings across 10 starts. He lines up to face Seattle next weekend.

Sandoval allowed two runs on four hits and four walks over 4.2 innings in Sunday's loss to the Phillies. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Sandoval escaped two separate bases-loaded threats through four scoreless frames but his luck finally ran out in the fifth. He coughed up a pair of runs before leaving the game during that inning. His four walks tied a season high and he now owns a 46:24 K:BB alongside a 2.81 ERA through nine starts. Sandoval is lined up to face the Mets at home next week.

Sandoval allowed six runs (five earned) on five hits and three walks with four strikeouts in three innings in a no-decision versus the Blue Jays on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Neither Sandoval nor Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios pitched past the third inning in this contest. Sandoval allowed a two-run double to Lourdes Gurriel in the second inning and then yielded four more runs in the third before turning the ball over the to bullpen. This was the southpaw's worst start of the year, but he can be given a pass -- he still has a solid 2.70 ERA despite a 1.27 WHIP and 42:20 K:BB through 43.1 innings in his eight appearances. He'll try to shake off this bad outing next weekend in Philadelphia.

Sandoval (3-1) earned the win, striking out seven in 7.1 innings and allowing one run on four hits and a walk in a 4-1 victory Sunday over Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Sandoval cruised through the first seven innings, scattering two singles and needing just 82 pitches to complete the frames. In the eighth, however, he allowed a run on two hits and a walk before being removed after retiring one batter. The 25-year-old is off to a phenomenal start with a 1.79 through 40.1 innings. The one knock against him in his first six outings was a less-than-stellar 31-16 K:BB but that rate was improved as he only issued a free pass to one batter Sunday. His next start will likely be next weekend against Toronto.

Sandoval (2-1) earned the win during Sunday's 4-1 victory over Oakland, allowing one run on four hits and four walks with four strikeouts in 6.1 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Sandoval was spotted a two-run lead before he took the mound and cruised for the most part after escaping a bases-loaded jam in the first inning. The 25-year-old got back on track following two decent outings, though he's now walked at least three batters in three straight outings. A 3.76 xFIP compared to a 1.91 ERA indicates Sandoval has overperformed -- the main culprit being a high 10.7 percent walk rate -- though he's proven to be one of Los Angeles' best full-time starters and should continue to produce, especially with a rematch against Oakland on tap for next weekend.

Sandoval allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks in 5.2 innings in a 5-4 win Sunday over Washington. He struck out five and did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Sandoval pitched fairly well through the first five innings, allowing just one run and pitching around trouble. In the sixth, he allowed three singles and a sacrifice fly before being removed. The lefty has a 1.28 WHIP on the season, identical to his career rate. However, his 2.03 ERA is about half of his career 4.08 ERA, suggesting he may be the beneficiary of some good luck in the first month of the season.

Sandoval (1-1) got the loss Monday after pitching six innings, giving up three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two versus the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Sandoval surrender his first earned runs of the season Monday, ending his scoreless outing streak at three. The White Sox scratched across two runs in the first inning and then Adam Engel doubled in Jose Abreu in the sixth, accounting for the final run on Sandoval's line. The 25-year-old now sports a 1.29 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with 22 punchouts over 21 innings this season. Sandoval tentatively lines up to face the Nationals on Sunday.

He's currently slated to pitch on Monday against the White Sox for and encore.
