Davies didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's game between the Padres and the Giants. He tossed three scoreless innings, giving up three hits while fanning three.
EDGE Analysis
Davies was widely expected to pitch this game on a short leash and that's exactly what happened, as he only tossed 51 pitches (32 strikes) through three innings in what was his first no-decision of the campaign. He finished the season with a career-best 2.73 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP -- another career best -- in 69.1 innings across 12 starts. Davies is lined up to take the ball in Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Round next week.

Davies could be pushed up to start Saturday's game against the Giants on three days rest, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander lines up to start on regular rest Sunday after pitching Tuesday against the Angels, but the Padres have been shifting their rotation plans with Mike Clevinger (elbow) unlikely to be available for the National League Wild Card round. Taking the mound Saturday would line up Davies to pitch Thursday in Game 2 rather than the potential series finale Friday. Regardless of whether he pitches Saturday or Sunday, Davies is likely to have a short leash to mitigate any potential for injury.

Davies (7-4) suffered the loss against the Angels on Tuesday, pitching six innings and allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five.
EDGE Analysis
Despite notching a quality start, Davies scuffled in the outing, needing 97 pitches to get through six innings. He gave up a pair of homers to Angels catcher Max Stassi to account for all three of the runs scored against him. Davies is lined up to start the final game of the season at San Francisco, though it is uncertain how deep he'll go in that contest with the postseason around the corner. As it stands, the right-hander figures to have a spot in the team's playoff rotation.

Davies (7-3) allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk and struck out five over six innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Davies was a little less efficient than his Dodgers counterpart, Tony Gonsolin, and the former would be stuck with the loss. It's a third straight quality start for Davies, as well as his fifth overall. He has a 2.69 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 55:16 K:BB in 60.1 innings this season. The right-hander lines up to face the Angels next Wednesday in his next start.

Davies (7-2) allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight across six innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Davies turned in a baseline quality start while racking up a season-best eight strikeouts. He did so on the strength of 14 swinging strikes and 19 called strikes across 99 total pitches. After this performance, Davies has yet to allow more than three earned run in any of his nine starts this season. He has a 2.48 ERA to show for it, also putting up a 50:15 K:BB across 54.1 innings. Davies will look to keep things going his next turn the rotation, currently projected to come Monday against the Dodgers.

Davies (6-2) earned the win Friday against Oakland by tossing seven scoreless innings, allowing four hits and four walks while fanning five.
EDGE Analysis
Davies earned a fourth straight win and has not allowed more than three earned runs in any outing this season while fanning at least five in all but one game so far. In fact, he is coming off back-to-back scoreless performances, so the right-hander is clearly trending in the right direction. He will carry a 2.23 ERA and a stellar 0.93 WHIP into next Wednesday's matchup at home against Colorado.

Davies (5-2) earned the Friday after holding the Rockies to four (unearned) runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six across 5.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
Davies struggled in the first inning, giving up back-to-back singles and a walk, setting up Matt Kemp for a three-run home run. Luckily, the runs were unearned due to a missed catch error by Eric Hosmer. The 27-year-old kept Colorado's bats quiet the rest of the way, exiting with two outs in the sixth following his 93rd pitch of the night. Davies has been solid this season, with his only rough outing of the year coming at Coors Field earlier this month, when he allowed three runs over five innings. The right-hander will carry a 2.61 ERA and 0.90 WHIP into next Friday's matchup at Oakland.

Davies (4-2) earned the win against Houston on Saturday, going eight innings and allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Davies allowed a first-inning run before San Diego staked him to a 10-run lead through two frames, allowing the right-hander to glide to an easy win. His eight innings established a season high while he notched a season-best seven strikeouts. Davies has now allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of his six starts in 2020, resulting in a solid 3.03 overall ERA. He'll next take the mound in a road game at Colorado on Friday.

Davies (3-2) allowed three runs on three hits and two walks over five innings Monday, striking out six and earning the win over Texas.
EDGE Analysis
San Diego's offense exploded for 14 runs Monday, so Davies had plenty of breathing room. He allowed just two runs through five innings but left after allowing a lead-off single in the sixth to Danny Santana, who came around to score and charge Davies with his third run. The 27-year-old will carry a 3.25 ERA into Sunday's home start against Houston.

Davies (2-2) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Dodgers. He tossed seven innings of two-run ball, allowing four hits and two walks while fanning five.
EDGE Analysis
Davies gave up two runs in the bottom of the fifth -- on an RBI single from Edwin Rios that scored A.J. Pollock, and on an RBI groundout from Austin Barnes that scored Chris Taylor. Despite the fact Davies was tagged with the loss, he delivered a strong performance against one of the best offenses in the National League and extended what has been a strong start to the season for him. He has allowed two or fewer earned runs in three of his first four starts and carries a 2.78 ERA with a 0.84 WHIP after his first 22.2 innings.
