Bailey Ober - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Loses three of final four starts Ober (12-9) was saddled with the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits over five innings against the Orioles. He struck out four.

Impact Ober held the Orioles off the board through four innings but yielded a three-run blast to James McCann with one out in the fifth that spoiled a two-run lead and led to Ober's ninth loss of the season. Ober ended the season on a bit of a sour note, losing three of his last four starts while compiling a 5.32 ERA over 23.2 innings. However, Ober finished a quality 2024 with 12 wins, 191 strikeouts over 178.2 innings and was fifth in the majors with a 1.00 WHIP, making his final ERA of 3.98 feel a bit unlucky.

Done in by one rough inning Ober (12-8) allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings, taking the loss versus the Marlins on Tuesday.

Impact Ober allowed all four runs in the second inning, and the Twins' offense couldn't back him up. The right-hander has gone eight starts without a win, allowing 26 runs over 45.2 innings with a 50:12 K:BB in that span. His late fade has pushed his ERA up to 3.94 with a 1.00 WHIP and 187:43 K:BB through 173.2 innings over 30 starts this season. Ober is tentatively projected to make one more regular-season start at home versus the Orioles.

Racks up 12 punchouts Wednesday Ober allowed two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out 12 batters over seven innings in a no-decision against Cleveland on Wednesday.

Impact Ober tallied 17 whiffs while demonstrating excellent command by throwing 70 of 101 pitches for strikes. The only negative aspect of his performance is that two of the four hits against him left the park, which played a part in preventing him from emerging with a victory. Nonetheless, Ober picked up his third quality start across his past five outings, and in those trio of quality starts he's surrendered just six hits while allowing only three runs and posting a 27:3 K:BB across 20 frames. It should be mentioned, though, that in the two other starts during that five-game span, Ober has struggled, yielding 14 runs with an 8:4 K:BB over 8.2 frames.

Fades late in Friday's loss Ober (12-7) took the loss Friday as the Twins fell 8-4 to the Reds, coughing up five runs on six hits and two walks over 6.2 innings. He struck out six.

Impact The righty pitched well through six innings as the two teams battled to a 1-1 stalemate, but the wheels came off for Ober in the seventh as the first four Cincinnati batters reached base, starting with a Spencer Steer leadoff triple. Ober has gone six straight starts without recording a win, stumbling to a 5.35 ERA over that stretch despite a 1.07 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB through 33.2 innings. He'll try to reverse his fortunes in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Cleveland.

Strong start goes to waste Ober allowed one hit and struck out seven without walking a batter over seven scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Royals on Saturday.

Impact Ober was dominant, but Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax melted down in the eighth inning to let the Royals steal away this game. Ober had thrown just 83 pitches (59 strikes) when he was pulled with the bottom half of the Royals' order due up in the eighth, making it a curious decision from manager Rocco Baldelli to turn to the bullpen, even with the Twins' top high-leverage arms available. While Ober's winless streak is at five starts, this was his fourth quality start in that span and his fifth scoreless outing of the year. He's now at a 3.77 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 162:39 K:BB through 155 innings over a career-high 27 starts. The 29-year-old's next start is projected to be at home versus the Reds.

Produces quality start Sunday Ober allowed one run on one hit and three walks while striking out eight over six innings in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Ober gave up a solo home run to Ernie Clement on the fifth pitch he threw of the day but otherwise dominated the Blue Jays. It was a huge bounce back performance after he allowed a season-worst nine runs in his previous start. That's now 12 quality starts in his last 13 outings for Ober and his strikeout numbers were up after only managing 10 strikeouts over his last 14 innings coming into Sunday. The 29-year-old owns a 3.95 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 155:39 K:BB in 148 innings and lines up to make his next start on the road against the Royals over the weekend.

SEPTEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Smoked by Atlanta Ober (12-6) yielded nine runs on seven hits and two walks over two innings while taking a loss against Atlanta on Monday. He struck out two batters.

Impact Ober was tagged with a three-run shot by Matt Olson in the first inning and a two-run homer by Travis d'Arnaud in the second. Entering Monday's start, Ober had given up nine total runs over his previous six outings, going 4-0 with a 2.02 ERA during that span. The last time he allowed more than six runs in a start was his season debut against the Royals on March 31. Ober saw his ERA jump from 3.54 to 4.06 after the rough outing. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is lined up to be at home against the Blue Jays.

Impact Ober surrendered an early run in the second inning but went on to retire 13 straight batters before Jake Cronenworth led off the seventh with a double. Manny Machado then abruptly ended Ober's night with a two-run homer to center to even up the game at 3-3 and spell Ober a chance at getting the win. Ober has now posted 11 consecutive quality starts and ranks inside the top five in ERA (2.09) and WHIP (0.80) over that span. For the year, he's posted a 3.54 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 145:34 K:BB in 140 innings. He lines up for a home start against Atlanta to begin next week.

Allows two runs in no-decision Ober did not factor into the decision in a win over the Rangers on Thursday, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks over seven innings while striking out three.

Impact All of the damage against Ober came in the opening frame when he allowed four of the first batters to reach, leading to two runs coming across for Texas. The right-hander then held the Rangers scoreless over the next five frames, logging his 10th consecutive quality start. Ober has surrendered just one home run over his last four outings, though he's also issued multiple walks in four straight. Thursday's no-decision also snapped a four-game winning streak for the 29 year old.

The 29-year-old Ober's ERA is down to 3.52 on the year with a 0.97 WHIP and 137:31 K:BB across 128 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, currently scheduled for next week at home against the Royals.

AUGUST 9 • ROTOWIRE

Extends quality-start streak Ober (11-5) earned the win over the White Sox on Saturday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over seven innings.

Impact Ober got through four scoreless frames before Chicago tied the game with a run in each of the fifth and sixth innings. The Twins put up a run in the top of the seventh to move the right-hander in line for the win, and he completed a scoreless bottom of the frame before giving way to the bullpen. Ober notched his third straight victory and his eighth consecutive quality start. Over the latter streak, he's posted a 1.95 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 63:11 K:BB across 55.1 innings.

Dominates Tigers Ober (10-5) earned the win Sunday, allowing one hit and two walks over eight scoreless innings against the Tigers. He struck out 11.

Impact Ober was at his best Sunday, allowing merely two walks and a leadoff single to Matt Vierling in the fourth while blanking the Tigers through eight. It was the seventh consecutive quality start for Ober, who was able to complete eight innings for the second time this season. The 6'9" righty lowered his season ERA to 3.76 with the outing and has performed at a Cy Young-caliber level during this most recent seven-game stretch, going 5-1 while holding a 1.86 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 56 strikeouts over 48.1 innings. Ober is slated to make his next start against the White Sox, ironically the only team to place a blemish against his record during his current hot streak.
