Allows four runs in loss Foltynewicz (2-8) allowed four earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five across seven innings, taking the loss to the Mariners on Sunday.

Impact Although Foltynewicz outlasted opposing pitcher Chris Flexen, he allowed three more runs than him to take the loss. All four runs came on a pair of home runs in the third and fourth innings. The 29-year-old has struggled this season and has not received much run support from a bad offense. He carries a 5.17 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP, leading the Rangers in losses (8).

Earns first win since April Foltynewicz (2-7) allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out six over seven innings to pick up the win over Oakland on Tuesday.

Impact Foltynewicz allowed a first-inning home run, but he settled in to give Texas hitters a chance to erase the lead and win for the first time since April 27, a span of 11 starts. Homers have been his bane in 2021; he's given up 19, which ranks tied for second in MLB. The Rangers have considered removing him from the rotation due to the frequency of long balls, but their replacement options are thin at this time. He'll look to build off Tuesday's success in his next projected start Sunday at Seattle.

Posts quality start Foltynewicz got the no-decision in Wednesday's 5-3 victory over Oakland, allowing two runs on six hits with five strikeouts in six innings.

Impact Foltynewicz was cruising through six innings, having allowed no runs on just 83 pitches, but ran into trouble when he surrendered a leadoff home run in the seventh followed by a double that ultimately got him the hook. It was the veteran righty's first quality start in nearly a month and he'll look for his first win since April against Oakland again next week.

Yields four runs in no-decision Foltynewicz allowed four runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts in five innings in a no-decision versus Minnesota on Friday.

Foltynewicz has given up 17 runs (16 earned) in 11.1 innings across his last three starts. The 29-year-old has a 5.59 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 51:19 K:BB across 74 innings this year.

Hammered by Dodgers Foltynewicz (1-7) lost Friday's 12-1 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing eight runs (seven earned) on eight hits and a walk with one strikeout in 2.2 innings.

Impact Los Angeles jumped on Foltynewicz early with six runs in the first and he was removed with two outs in the third after allowing two more runs. Even after the disaster outing, Foltynewicz ERA sits at 5.48 though a total of eight strikeouts in 24 innings over his last five starts is difficult to stomach.

Tagged for five runs Foltynewicz (1-6) was charged with the loss against the Rockies on Thursday after allowing five runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out two across 3.2 innings.

Impact The abbreviated start tied for the shortest of the year for Foltynewicz, who struggled at hitter-happy Coors Field despite making his 10th career appearance there. He gave up only one homer via a solo shot to Charlie Blackmon in the third, but the Rockies found other ways to get on the scoreboard. It's been a pretty average season overall for the right-hander (4.31ERA, 1.29 WHIP), though lack of run support hasn't done him any favors. Foltynewicz is projected to take the mound again Wednesday against the Giants.
