Harrison (7-6) allowed five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out seven over 4.2 innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Brewers.
Harrison had his last start skipped, and it appeared for a while that the extra rest had served him well. That changed in a rough fifth inning, which saw Harrison surrender five runs before he was pulled with two outs. The southpaw has given up 17 runs over 24 innings across five starts in August, a span that's seen him yield seven home runs. He's now at a 4.22 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 115:41 K:BB through 121.2 innings over 23 starts this year. He's already past his previous high of 113 innings in a season, set back in 2022, and if the Giants drop much further out of the playoff race, there's a chance Harrison could be shut down at some point in September. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Diamondbacks.
