Williams (5-1) took the loss Friday against the Cubs, allowing one run on three hits across five innings. He struck out seven. While Williams would ultimately take his first loss of the season, the right-hander seemed to pick up where he left off prior to going on the IL in late May. A Dansby Swanson homer in the first inning proved to be the lone mark against William before he'd blank the Cubs over his final four frames. The 32-year-old Williams boasts a 2.19 ERA with a 1.04 WHIP and 54:16 K:BB across 61.2 innings this season. He'll likely make one more start this season, currently scheduled for next week at home versus the Phillies.
