Vasquez allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out two batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

As usual, Vasquez was far from overpowering, notching just six whiffs and two punchouts. However, the right-hander got the job done, allowing just one hit and one run. He was clinging to a 2-1 lead entering the fifth and retired the first two batters he faced, but manager Mike Shildt then decided to pull him in favor of Adrian Morejon, ending Vasquez's shot at a victory. It was the third straight start in which the right-hander has been yanked having completed fewer than five frames, though he hasn't given up more than two runs in any of those outings. That strategy has hampered Vasquez from getting into the win column, and he's now finished with a no-decision in 11 consecutive starts.

Vasquez worked 4.1 innings in a no-decision, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk while striking out none, during Monday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Strikeouts have never been the name of the game for Vasquez, but this was the first start this season where he finished an entire outing without one. He was lifted after just 68 pitches, so there's clearly some trust to be gained between him and the staff to let the right-hander, who has pitched past the fifth inning only six times, work deeper into ballgames. That's part of the reason why the 26-year-old hasn't had a decision to his name since May 21, but that means no losses either, so he's certainly kept the Padres in ballgames and limited damage well despite often dealing with plenty of traffic in his starts. His turn in the rotation is next slated to come up on the road in St. Louis.

Vasquez allowed two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out one over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Vasquez limited the damage to two runs in the third inning, both of which came on sacrifice flies. It was still an inefficient performance for the right-hander, who threw just 52 of 86 pitches for strikes while walking at least four batters for the fifth time this season. He's fallen short of the five-inning mark twice in his last three starts and has taken nine straight no-decisions, in part due to his inability to pitch deeper into games. Vasquez is at a 3.80 ERA despite a 1.39 WHIP and 50:46 K:BB through 94.2 innings over 19 starts this season. The Padres have games scheduled for 13 straight days coming out of the All-Star break, so Vasquez's spot in the rotation looks safe in the immediate future.

Vasquez settled for a no-decision after working six strong innings, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out one, during Friday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

This is the eighth straight start that Vasquez has pitched to a no-decision. Part of it is because the 26-year-old has failed to go deep enough into the game to qualify for a win much of the time, but that wasn't the case Friday as he made it through six innings for just the second time since June 1. The right-hander struck out only one batter, but with a season high of five on the season, that's never really been his game. Vasquez is scheduled to make his next start at home against the Diamondbacks.

Vasquez did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Reds, allowing four runs on nine hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Vasquez allowed three runs over the first two innings and exited with a 4-1 deficit before the Padres rallied for a comeback win. While the 26-year-old tossed seven frames in his previous start Sunday, he's failed to complete five innings in four of six June outings. He'll carry a 3.84 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and a troubling 48:39 K:BB across 84.1 innings into a home matchup with the Rangers next weekend.

Vasquez took a no-decision in Sunday's 3-2 win versus the Royals, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The San Diego righty collected his fifth quality start of the season, as he looked sharp in this 89-pitch outing. Vasquez completed a career-high seven frames, going toe to toe with Kansas City starter Seth Lugo. The only blemish on Vasquez's day was a two-run homer conceded to Salvador Perez in the sixth inning. The 26-year-old will carry a 3.60 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 45:37 K:BB through 80 innings into his next start, which currently lines up to be at Cincinnati next weekend.

Vasquez allowed three runs on four hits and struck out two without walking a batter over five innings in a no-decision Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Vasquez completed five frames for the first time in four starts in June. Despite his struggles with pitching deep into games, he's allowed a modest eight runs over 17.2 innings this month, though he's also been tagged for five home runs in that span after Andy Pages took him deep twice Tuesday. Overall, Vasquez has a 3.70 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 43:35 K:BB across 73 innings through 15 starts. Walks have been less of a problem lately -- he's issued one walk or less in six of his last eight outings. Vasquez will look to continue that trend in his next start, tentatively projected to be at home this weekend versus the Royals.

Vasquez did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Dodgers, allowing a run on two hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

While Vasquez only gave up two hits, one was a home run off the bat of Michael Conforto that ultimately forced the right-hander out of the game with two outs in the fifth inning. The Padres have had a tight leash on Vasquez -- he only threw 70 pitches Wednesday after delivering 4.2 scoreless innings in his last start. Overall, Vasquez is 3-4 with a 3.57 ERA with a 1.40 WHIP and 41:35 K:BB across 14 starts (68 innings) this season. He's currently lined up for a rematch with the Dodgers at home in his next outing.

Vasquez didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Brewers after giving up two hits and four walks in 4.2 scoreless innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Vasquez had worked three hitless innings to begin the outing, but his lack of efficiency prevented him from getting deeper into the game. Just 40 of his 78 pitches landed for strikes, and the 26-year-old right-hander failed to reach the fifth inning for the sixth time in 13 appearances this year. Vasquez's 3.69 ERA on the season remains respectable, but his 37:34 K:BB and 4.8 walks per nine innings over 63.1 frames remain major impediments to his fantasy appeal. He won't be a recommended streamer versus the Dodgers his next time out.

Vasquez allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Pirates on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Vasquez had gone six starts without allowing more than three runs, but that streak ended Sunday. He gave up home runs to Andrew McCutchen and Adam Frazier, which accounted for three of the four runs on his line. The long ball has been an issue lately, as Vasquez has given up seven homers over his last five starts. For the season, the right-hander has a 3.99 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 35:30 K:BB over 58.2 innings across 12 starts, numbers that suggest he has gotten fairly lucky so far. He is tentatively projected to make his next start at Milwaukee.
