Pitches well but takes loss Alzolay (2-4) allowed two earned runs across seven innings but took the loss Saturday against the Cardinals. He gave up five hits and no walks while striking out six.
Impact Alzolay pitched very well, but the Chicago offense mustered just five hits in a 2-1 loss. The righty has been incredibly consistent lately, going at least five innings and allowing three runs or fewer in five straight starts. The seven innings pitched Saturday were actually a new season high for Alzolay, and he lowered his ERA to 4.30 in the process. He'll look for a little better luck in the win column his next time out Friday against the Reds.

Picks up second win Alzolay (2-3) allowed three runs on five hits across five innings to record the win Monday against the Nationals. He struck out three and did not issue a walk.
Impact Alzolay wasn't particularly sharp, allowing home runs to Trea Turner and former teammate Kyle Schwarber, but he was still able to outduel Jon Lester. It was Lester's offseason departure that created one of several openings in the Chicago rotation, and the 26-year-old Alzolay has helped fill the void. He now has a 4.62 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 39 strikeouts across seven starts (37 innings). Alzolay will look to build on the win his next time out Saturday against St. Louis.

Takes loss in quality start Alzolay (1-3) took the loss Tuesday at Cleveland after allowing three runs on five hits with six strikeouts and zero walks over six innings.
Impact The 26-year-old pitched well but was hurt by the long ball, as all three runs came via homers from Jose Ramirez and Cesar Hernandez. Alzolay has a 4.50 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB through 32 innings this season.

Strikes out seven Alzolay allowed two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out seven across five innings Wednesday against the Dodgers. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Alzolay surrendered a run in each of his last two innings, but he was otherwise excellent during the outing. He racked up 12 swinging strikes on only 79 total pitches to back up his seven strikeouts. More importantly, after posting a 4.6 BB/9 across his first 33.2 innings in the majors across the last two seasons, Alzolay has walked only seven batters while striking out 30 over 26 frames to begin the current campaign. He's in line to draw his next start Tuesday at Cleveland.
