3-1, 4.20 ERA, 69 SO

Hyun Jin Ryu

LHP

5-4, 3.43 ERA, 65 SO

Orioles @ Guardians

(22-44)

final • Tue, Jun 15

At Progressive Field

(36-28)

Matt Harvey

RHP

3-8, 7.76 ERA, 49 SO

Harvey won three of his first six starts but owns an 11.79 ERA in his seven since, six of them losses. The veteran righty was highly critical of his performance after his last start, a blowout loss against the Mets on Wednesday.

Cal Quantrill

RHP

0-2, 3.11 ERA, 32 SO

Although Quantrill worked two innings in relief in St. Louis he'll be right back in the rotation against the Orioles. He didn't allow a run and permitted just one hit working out of the 'pen, but hasn't had the same luck as a starter.

RHP

2-1, 6.11 ERA, 21 SO

Mills recently returned from an IL stint due to a back issue. The righty has spent the bulk of this year in the bullpen, with his lone start (four innings, two runs) falling on April 13 against Milwaukee. He was 5-5 with a 4.48 ERA as a starter in 2020.

Taijuan Walker

RHP

6-2, 2.35 ERA, 78 SO

Walker has had periodic control problems, but really that's just quibbling. Overall, he's been one of the best starting pitchers in the National League and one of last offseason's best free-agent signings, with a 1.32 ERA in his last six starts.

Mike Minor

LHP

5-4, 4.63 ERA, 86 SO

Dallas Keuchel

LHP

6-1, 3.78 ERA, 46 SO

During that stretch, he was keeping the ball down for grounders and strikeouts, with only two balls leaving the infield.

Brett Anderson

LHP

2-4, 4.24 ERA, 30 SO

After his last outing, Anderson said he has to do a better job of doing his part. He'll get that opportunity against the Reds, against whom he owns a 4-3 lifetime record, despite posting a 4.76 ERA over 45 1/3 innings.
