Mahle (7-6) allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out four over 6.2 innings in a win over the Cubs on Friday afternoon.

EDGE Analysis

The strikeouts came crashing back down after his 12-K outing against Milwaukee last weekend, but Mahle was effective nonetheless. He threw 70 of his 102 pitches for strikes and gave up just one extra-base hit. The 23-year-old has been much better at limiting the long ball recently, allowing just three homers over his last eight starts after serving up 13 in his first 10 outings this season. He will look to close out the first half on a high note next week in Cleveland.

Mahle didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 12-3 win over the Brewers, allowing three runs (one earned) on six hits and three walks over 5.2 innings while striking out a career-high 12.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander threw 76 of 113 pitches for strikes while generating a massive 27 swinging strikes, but Mahle was still in line for the loss before the Reds exploded for eight runs in the seventh inning. He'll carry a 3.83 ERA into his next outing Friday on the road against the Cubs.

Mahle (6-6) picked up the win Wednesday in a 5-3 victory over the Tigers, allowing two runs on five hits and four walks over six innings while striking out eight.

EDGE Analysis

Walks remain an issue for the right-hander -- he's issued multiple free passes in six straight starts, posting a 30:16 K:BB in 33.1 innings over that stretch -- but Mahle remains undefeated in June despite his wildness. He'll carry a 3.89 ERA into his next outing Monday in Atlanta.

Mahle didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Rockies, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

It was another short outing from Mahle, who continues to struggle pitching deep into games. While the 23-year-old has allowed just two runs over his last two starts, each outing lasted five innings, and he's now completed six frames in just five of his 13 starts this season. Mahle now owns a 4.33 ERA and 67:26 K:BB through 68.2 innings. Next up is a favorable matchup on the road against the Royals.

Mahle didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Rockies, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks over five innings while striking out four.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander threw 58 of 102 pitches for strikes while tying his season high in free passes. Mahle has had a tough May, delivering only one quality start in five outings with a 5.33 ERA and 18:11 K:BB through 25.1 innings, but he'll get a chance to begin June on a much better note in Friday's road start against the Padres.

Mahle (3-6) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings. He gave up three home runs.

EDGE Analysis

It could have been worse, as two of the three long balls were solo shots. Mahle has now given up 13 homers in 53.2 innings this season, with nine of those coming at Great American Ball Park. The right-hander has potential, but it's probably wise to avoid him at home until he shows some improvement with the homer issue. His upcoming road start in Colorado is one most will want to avoid as well.

Mahle was sick for a few days leading up to his outing against the Giants on Tuesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mahle refused to make excuses for his performance but it was clear that he wasn't 100 percent. His fastball velocity was down, and as interim manager Jim Riggleman noted after the game, "his slider didn't have any depth." The 23-year-old gave up four runs on seven hits in just 3.1 innings in the loss to San Francisco, raising his ERA to 4.34. Mahle will look to get back on track Sunday at home against the Cubs.

Mahle (3-5) allowed four runs on seven hits in a loss to the Giants on Tuesday, striking out two and walking one in 3.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Mahle had his shortest outing of the season on Tuesday. He blanked the Giants through three, but then gave up a solo shot to Brandon Belt, followed by three consecutive singles to load the bases. After striking out Kelby Tomlinson, Mahle then allowed a base hit to pinch-hitter Pablo Sandoval to tie up the game and end his night. The right-hander has now given up 10 home runs on the season, but still sports excellent strikeout numbers to the tune of 46 strikeouts in 47.2 innings. Mahle is in line to face the Cubs at home in his next start.

Mahle (2-4) took the loss against the Marlins on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits over six innings while striking out four.

EDGE Analysis

Homers by Starlin Castro and Justin Bour, as well as a dominant performance by Caleb Smith on the mound for Miami, sent Mahle to defeat despite a strong outing of his own. The 23-year-old has provided quality starts in three straight trips to the mound, a streak he'll look to continue in Thursday's road matchup against the Dodgers.

Mahle (2-3) allowed one earned run on four hits while walking two and striking out seven across 6.1 innings to earn the win Sunday against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Mahle relied on what has become a common formula for him -- strikeouts and flyball outs. That has resulted in his current 1.89 HR/9, however, he escaped Sunday's start without surrendering a home run for the second time in his six outings this season. Half of his home runs allowed have been solo shots so his ERA hasn't been inflated as much as possible, but he will have to decrease the 39 percent hard hit rate he has allowed to remain a viable starting option in shallower mixed-league formats.
