Continues turnaround on mound Snell (4-5) earned the win over Colorado on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks while striking out nine batters over six innings.

Impact Snell was dominant in the victory, racking up 14 swinging strikes and holding the Rockies to just one extra-base hit. The southpaw capitalized on San Diego's five-run first inning to cruise to his third straight win and fourth over his past five contests. That has brought his record up to 4-5 on the season after he opened the campaign without a victory through his initial eight starts. Over his past three appearances, Snell has posted a 1.06 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB across 17 frames.

Quiets Twins in third win Snell (3-5) earned the win Friday over the Twins. He allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven in six innings.

Impact The Twins' lone run in the 10-1 contest was Byron Buxton's solo home run off Snell in the fourth inning. All three of Snell's wins this season have come in July -- he's gone 3-0 this month with eight runs allowed in 25.2 innings, a notable improvement compared to how he started the campaign. He owns a 4.43 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 78:34 K:BB across 61 innings in 12 starts overall. The 29-year-old southpaw is projected for a home start against the Rockies next week as he looks to carry his strong form into August.

Earns win with five shutout frames Snell (2-5) picked up the win over the Mets on Saturday, allowing four hits and two walks while striking out five batters over five scoreless innings.

Impact Snell needed 85 pitches to get through five frames, but he yielded only one extra-base hit and kept New York off the scoreboard. The southpaw issued multiple walks for the 11th time in 11 starts this season, but he fared much better than in his six-walk, five-run , 3.2-inning outing against Colorado in his final start before the All-Star break. Snell's control issues and 4.75 ERA have made him a risky pitcher in fantasy this season, but he's been coming around with two wins and three outings of one run or fewer over his past four starts.

Extreme control issues Snell allowed five earned runs on four hits and six walks while striking out five across 3.2 innings Thursday against the Rockies. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Snell looked sharp in the first inning, retiring the side in order. However, that was the highlight of his outing as he proceeded to give up a season-high six walks and five earned runs. Coors Field does offer some excuse for the poor effort, particularly because Snell entered Thursday's start having allowed only two earned runs across his last 11 innings and two starts. However, he still has a 5.22 ERA and 66:31 K:BB across 50 innings on the season.

Earns first win Snell (1-5) allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out 11 over six innings to earn the win Friday versus the Giants.

Impact Snell had arguably his best start of the year despite allowing a home run for a third straight outing. This was his second consecutive start with double-digit strikeouts, and the third time this year he's completed six innings. The southpaw is starting to trend in the right direction after allowing only two runs through 11 innings to begin July, and he now has a 4.66 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 61:25 K:BB across 46.1 innings overall. Snell is on track to make his last start of the first half on the road in Colorado next week.
