Baz (8-9) allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out seven over seven innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Baz had his longest start since he went seven innings July 1 in a start that was also against the A's. The right-hander didn't get any help Tuesday, nor did he do himself any favors by allowing four or more runs for the fourth time in five starts. He's now at a 4.93 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 140:50 K:BB through 135 innings across 24 starts. He's already exceeded the 118.2 innings he had across all levels in 2024, so it's possible the 26-year-old is wearing down a bit. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Yankees.

Baz did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Angels, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks across four innings. He struck out nine.

EDGE Analysis

After holding the Angels scoreless in his first two innings, Baz unraveled with two outs in the third, giving up an RBI single to Nolan Schanuel before Mike Trout launched a game-tying, three-run homer. While Baz has had the strikeout pitch working of late, logging 17 punchouts over nine innings in his last two starts, he's struggled to provide much length -- the right-hander has failed to make it past five innings in any of his previous four outings. Overall, Baz sports a 4.92 with a 1.34 WHIP and 133:48 K:BB across 23 starts (128 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the A's on the road his next time out.

Baz (8-8) took the loss Friday against the Dodgers, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

Baz at least managed to register 16 whiffs and fan eight to salvage what was an otherwise poor outing overall. The eight hits allowed were one shy of a season worst, and the 26-year-old right-hander walked multiple batters in his fifth straight start. Baz's impressive run to open the campaign is becoming a distant memory at this point -- he posted a 2.45 ERA through April 25 -- and he'll carry a mediocre 4.79 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 124:46 K:BB through 124 frames into a scheduled road matchup against the Angels in Anaheim.

Baz (8-7) yielded two runs on five hits and two walks over five innings Sunday, striking out five and taking a loss against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Baz coughed up a pair of runs in the first inning before settling in to finish his outing with four scoreless frames. He's now lost four consecutive starts, registering a 5.90 ERA during that span. Baz generated 15 swinging strikes on 100 total pitches Sunday, including seven with his fastball that averaged 96.8 mph. He now owns a 4.61 ERA with a 116:44 K:BB through 119 frames. Baz's next outing is projected to be at home against the Dodgers.

Baz (8-6) conceded eight runs on eight hits and two walks over four innings to take the loss in Monday's contest against the White Sox. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Nothing went right for the Tampa Bay right-hander, as he allowed a career-worst eight earned runs in this 87-pitch disaster. Baz did not have his sharpest stuff, managing to generate just six whiffs. The 26-year-old has been prone to implosions this season, with this marking the sixth time he has allowed five or more runs out of 20 total starts. Baz will carry a 4.66 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 111:42 K:BB across 114 total innings into a dangerous matchup at Cincinnati this weekend.

Baz (8-5) completed 6.1 innings, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters in a loss to Boston on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Baz was very effective Saturday, allowing just a fourth-inning run despite notching only one 1-2-3 frame. However, opposing hurler Garrett Crochet fired a complete-game shutout, resulting in Baz taking a second consecutive loss. Despite the defeat, this was another strong performance by the right-hander, who has recorded four straight quality starts. He'll head into the All-Star break with a 4.17 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 107:40 K:BB over 110 innings spanning 19 outings.

Baz (8-4) suffered the loss Monday at Detroit, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out seven.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old righty tallied his third consecutive quality start despite taking the loss in this 94-pitch outing. Baz worked around a Javier Baez two-run homer in the second and a Riley Greene RBI single in the fifth to secure his eighth quality start of the season. Through 103.2 total innings, Baz sports a 4.34 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 104:38 K:BB over 18 starts. He currently lines up to make his next start at Boston this weekend.

Baz allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out 11 in seven innings Tuesday against the Athletics. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Baz tied his season high in strikeouts and became the first Rays pitcher since Shane McClanahan in 2022 with back-to-back starts of at least seven innings and nine strikeouts. All three runs against him were via the long ball, as Max Muncy hit a two-run shot in the fourth and Shea Langeliers launched a solo blast in the sixth. Baz now has a 20:2 K:BB over his last two outings and is showing incredible command after issuing 11 walks in his previous three starts. He lines up to make his next start on the road against Tigers next week.

Baz (8-3) earned the win against the Royals on Thursday, allowing three hits and one walk with nine strikeouts over eight scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Baz was dominant, throwing 69 of 97 pitches for strikes and retiring 19 straight batters at one point after giving up a leadoff double in the first inning. It marked the longest outing of the 26-year-old's major-league career, and he'll wrap up June with a 4-0 record across five starts. On the season, he sports a 4.37 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 86:35 K:BB over 90.2 innings and is slated for a home matchup with the Athletics next week.

Baz (7-3) earned the win against the Tigers on Friday, allowing five runs on four hits and four walks while striking out six across 5.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Baz kept the Tigers off the board through the first two frames before yielding a three-run homer to Riley Greene in the third. Baz was tagged for two more runs in the sixth after being lifted, but he got enough run support to come away with his second straight win. Baz's 4.79 ERA (across 82.2 innings) is seventh highest among qualified starters in the American League this season, but his seven wins are tied for sixth in the AL. He'll look to make it three wins in a row in his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Royals.
