No-decision versus Yankees Akin allowed four runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five in four innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Sunday.
Impact After winning his last two starts, Sunday's outing was a bit of a disappointment for Akin, but he was able to avoid the loss as Baltimore pulled ahead in the seventh inning. The southpaw has a 7.00 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 73:34 K:BB through 79.2 innings this year. He's expected to remain in the rotation for the rest of the season, as Baltimore will evaluate some of its younger arms over the final month of the year. Akin projects for a tough matchup versus Toronto during next weekend's four-game series.

The rookies come up big as Orioles snap four-game losing streak Starter Keegan Akin, first baseman Ryan Mountcastle and infielder Ramón Ur�as play a starring role in Baltimore’s 4-2 victory over Toronto.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM
Collects second win Akin (2-8) picked up the win in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five.
Impact Aside from a third-inning solo shot by Danny Jansen, Akin kept the dangerous Toronto lineup in check for 85 pitches (53 strikes). The 26-year-old southpaw seems to be turning his season around, posting a 2.65 ERA and 1.06 WHIP through 17 innings over his last three starts, but a 4.2 BB/9 and 2.1 HR/9 during that stretch suggest those strong ratios could be a mirage.

Allows three runs in loss Akin (0-8) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three in five innings to take the loss against Atlanta on Friday.
Impact Although Akin tossed 3.1 scoreless innings across his first two relief appearances in August, he's struggled in his three starts since he rejoined the rotation. The southpaw has given up at least three runs in each of his last three starts, and he's been charged with losses in each of those outings. Since the All-Star break, Akin has posted an 8.84 ERA and 2.13 WHIP in 18.1 innings across six appearances (four starts). He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Angels on Thursday.
