Williams (8-7) tossed six scoreless innings to earn a win Monday against the Indians, allowing four hits and two walks with one strikeout.
Williams technically went the distance in this rain-shortened affair, throwing 54 of 84 pitches for strikes. His fastball velocity dipped to a season-low 89.7 mph Monday and he induced just five swinging strikes, relying on weak contact to get outs. Though he scuffled a bit prior to the All-Star break, Williams has now gone 11 innings without allowing an earned run, but the dip in velocity -- he averaged 92.1 mph in 2017 -- is somewhat concerning. He'll look to continue his recent success this weekend at home against the Mets.
