Just short of quality start Berrios pitched 5.2 innings, surrendering three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Berrios surrendered a solo home run to Dylan Carlson in the first inning before giving up two more runs in top of the third frame. The right-hander was later removed with two outs in the sixth inning after he allowed a second baserunner to reach. After surrendering 14 runs over 6.2 frames in his last two starts of June, Berrios has produced a 3.41 ERA with 36 strikeouts over 29 innings in five starts in July. The strong month has his season numbers down to a 5.20 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with 100 punchouts over 107.1 frames in 20 outings.

Quality start vs. Royals Berrios gave up two earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out seven in 6.1 innings Sunday against the Royals. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Berrios logged his third straight quality start against a depleted Royals lineup. While Berrios' season ERA is 5.22, he has not given up more than three earned runs and has not pitched fewer than five innings in any of his last eight home starts. His road struggles will likely be put to the test next weekend in Boston.

Strikes out 13 for win Berrios (7-4) gave up three earned runs on six hits and no walks while striking out 13 over six innings to earn the win in a 4-3 victory over the Phillies on Tuesday.

Impact Berrios matched his season-high strikeout total en route to his second quality start in a row and his seventh win of the campaign. The 28-year-old right-hander had struggled immensely over the first three months of the season since signing a contract extension with the Blue Jays in the off-season. Even with this performance against the Phillies, Berrios has a bloated 5.38 ERA on the year and it will take many more quality outings to bring his numbers back down to where they had consistently been from 2017 to 2021. His 20 swings-and-misses over six frames show that he has the stuff to take his game to another level if he can put it all together.

Lines up for two-start week Berrios will start Tuesday in the first contest of the Blue Jays' two-game series with the Phillies in Toronto, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

Impact Toronto held out hope that Kevin Gausman (ankle) would be ready to go for its first game of the week, but the right-hander apparently needs at least one more day to heal up from his injury. Due to an off day Monday, the Blue Jays will be able to turn to Berrios, who takes the hill on five days' rest. He'll tentatively line up for a two-start week, with his second turn set to come Sunday at home against the Royals in the Blue Jays' final game before the All-Star break.

Quality start Wednesday Berrios pitched six innings, surrendering one run on four hits and a walk while striking out six in Wednesday's win over the Athletics. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Berrios was very effective in this one, tossing five scoreless innings to open the outing. The only blemish on his line came in the bottom of the sixth inning via a solo homer by Ramon Laureano. Berrios has now produced two strong starts in a row following two clunkers, giving up three runs over 11 innings while striking out nine. The 28-year-old is tentatively set to pitch again Tuesday against the Phillies.

Bounces back with win Berrios (6-4) picked up the win Friday against the Rays, allowing two runs on eight hits in five innings, striking out three while walking two.

Impact Berrios had allowed 14 runs in 6.2 innings across his previous two starts, so Friday's performance counts as a very encouraging one despite his low strikeout total. He was far from dominant, as he didn't record a single clean inning, but he worked out of enough jams to get the job done. He'll look to take another bite out of his 5.72 ERA in Oakland on Wednesday.

Rough outing in loss Berrios (5-4) took the loss to the Brewers on Sunday, allowing eight runs on eight hits while striking out one and walking two across 2.2 innings.

Impact It was another rough outing for Berrios as he allowed eight runs in 2.2 innings just one game after allowing six runs in four innings. Berrios threw 42 of 66 pitches for strikes in Sunday's contest. The righty has allowed three or more earned runs in nine of 15 appearances this season and possesses a 5.86 ERA.

Allows three homers in loss Berrios (5-3) took the loss against the White Sox on Monday, yielding six runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out one batter over four innings.

Impact Berrios was in constant trouble throughout the outing, as he allowed multiple baserunners and at least one run in each of his four frames. Three of the hits against him left the yard, and he managed only two swinging strikes among his 72 pitches. Berrios had been pitching well coming into the contest, recording three straight quality starts and striking out 26 batters over 22 innings during that stretch. Monday's blowup pushed the right-hander's ERA up to 5.11 on the campaign, third-worst among qualified big-league starters.

Strikes out eight Wednesday Berrios allowed three runs on three hits and struck out eight in seven innings in a no-decision versus the Orioles on Wednesday.

Impact Berrios turned in his third straight quality start, but Yimi Garcia couldn't maintain the lead for the Blue Jays in the eighth inning. Two of the hits Berrios allowed were home runs -- a two-run blast from Adley Rutschman and a solo shot by Ryan Mountcastle. Despite the long balls, it was a solid showing for Berrios, who trimmed his ERA to 4.65 with a 1.24 WHIP and 62:17 K:BB across 71.2 innings overall. He remains at a 5-2 record heading into next week's projected road start versus the White Sox.

Eight-inning win Berrios (5-2) earned an eight-inning win against the Tigers on Friday, allowing one run on five hits while striking out five and walking one.

Impact Berrios picked up a dominant win against a floundering Tigers offense on Friday, his second win in a row. The eight-inning performance lowered his ERA to 4.73, the lowest it has been since April 30. The righty has had a disappointing season to this point, but perhaps his last two games signal that he is turning things around.

Fans career-high 13 Berrios (4-2) gave up two earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out a career-high 13 batters Saturday against the Twins. He picked up the win.

Impact This was Berrios' best start of the season and one of the best starts of his career. It comes on the heels of him giving up six earned runs in 2.1 innings against the Angels, so it's possible fantasy managers benched him ahead of this start. He got eight whiffs with his curveball and another eight with his sinker, as both pitches got whiffs over 60 percent of the time in this one. Berrios averaged 94.3 mph with his fourseam fastball, up from 93.8 mph on the season. He lines up to face the Tigers in Detroit next weekend.

Struggles in short start Berrios allowed six runs on six hits and a walk with one strikeout in 2.1 innings, taking a no-decision versus the Angels on Sunday.

Impact Berrios had posted quality starts in his last two games, but he had no such fortune Sunday. Shohei Ohtani took him deep in his first two at-bats, and Berrios didn't complete three innings in the back-and-forth contest. The right-hander has had his ups and downs this year with a 5.62 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB across 49.2 innings in his 10 starts. He's now given up nine homers, so he'll be hoping to keep the ball in the yard better next weekend against the Twins.
