Baz (4-3) got the win Saturday against the Red Sox. He allowed two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings.
Baz closed out the season with another strong outing as he ends his 2024 campaign with six quality starts his final eight starts. The 25-year-old made a successful return from Tommy John surgery this season with a 3.06 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 14 starts. Baz finished on a tear with a 2.34 ERA and 0.82 ERA in his last 50 innings.
Baz allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out six across six innings Sunday against the Blue Jays. He did not factor into the decision.
Baz dominated early and held the Blue Jays without a hit through three innings. His only true trouble came in the fourth when he escaped a bases-loaded jam by allowing only one earned run. There were other positives from the performance, as Baz didn't allow a home run for the first time in his last four starts. He has also allowed only one walk in each of his last three outings and has complied a 16:3 K:BB across 18.1 innings during that span.
Baz (3-3) earned the win Tuesday against the Red Sox, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk over seven innings. He struck out six.
The 25-year-old flamethrower was outstanding in this 96-pitch performance, generating an impressive 18 whiffs -- with 10 alone coming on his fastball -- en route to his six punchouts. All the damage Boston was able to do came via a Triston Casas two-run homer in the second inning. This marks the fifth consecutive outing in which Baz has yielded two or fewer runs, as he's pitched to a 2.03 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 24:11 K:BB over 31 innings during that span. He is scheduled to make his next start against Toronto at home this weekend.
Baz came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out four.
The home side tagged Baz for two runs in the bottom of the first inning, but he bounced back and closed the door for the rest of his outing, leaving the mound with the score tied 2-2. The right-hander tossed 52 of 78 pitches for strikes, and the Rays may have been keeping an eye on his workload after he threw a season-high 103 pitches in his prior start. Baz will look to get back in the win column in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Red Sox.
Baz (2-3) allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and three walks over six innings Friday, striking out five and taking a loss against Baltimore.
Baz worked through four shutout frames before coughing up a run in the fifth inning. He then gave up a solo shot to Gunnar Henderson in the sixth. Baz forced 15 swinging strikes, including six with his curveball. He's allowed two or fewer runs in six of his 10 appearances since returning from the injured list. Baz has produced a 3.27 ERA and a 46:23 K:BB across 55 innings. He's currently in line to start in Philadelphia next week.
Baz (2-2) earned the win against the Padres on Saturday, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks with five strikeouts over five innings.
Baz allowed a two-run homer in the first inning and then rebounded with four scoreless frames before being lifted at 78 pitches. The 25-year-old looked healthy after being scratched with the flu last Sunday, and he has now yielded three earned runs or fewer in six of seven outings since the All-Star break. On the season, he owns a 3.49 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 41:20 K:BB across 49 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Twins next week.
