Fans seven in no-decision Hentges didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 6-5 win over the Tigers after allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out seven.
Impact The left-hander left the game after 88 pitches (52 strikes) and was in line for his second loss before the Cleveland offense tied it up in the top of the sixth inning. There were still signs of progress, however, as Hentges put together his longest outing since moving into the rotation while establishing a new career high in strikeouts. He'll take a 62.0 ERA and 22:12 K:BB through 20.1 innings into his next start.

Crushed for six runs Hentges (1-1) yielded six runs on five hits and three walks over 1.2 innings Monday, striking out one and taking the loss against the Angels.
Impact Hentges allowed a run to score on a groundout by Anthony Rendon in the first inning but things got out of hand quickly in the second. Shortly after a two-run double by Juan Lagares, Hentges served up a three-run blast to Shohei Ohtani. His season ERA shot up to 6.46 over 15.1 frames. It was just the second start of his young MLB career and it's unclear if he'll get another turn in the rotation. Hentges is currently projected to face the Twins at home this weekend.

Strikes out six in no-decision Hentges allowed four hits and four walks over 4.2 scoreless innings while striking out six in a no-decision versus the Cubs on Wednesday.
Impact Hentges made his first major-league start Wednesday, and it went reasonably well. He threw 46 of his 84 pitches for strikes and none of his mistakes ended up on the scoreboard. The southpaw owns a 3.29 ERA through 13.2 innings, although his 1.76 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB are a cause for concern. The 24-year-old tentatively lines up for his next start versus the Angels next week.

Cleveland-Cincinnati postponed Hentges and Cleveland won't face Cincinnati on Sunday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather.
Impact The two teams will make up the game Aug. 9. Hentges was scheduled to make his third career MLB start Sunday after he was battered for five runs (four earned) on 11 hits and two walks over 6.1 innings in his first two outings. Due to his poor results and his standing as Cleveland's No. 5 starter, Hentges could be pushed to the back of the team's pitching schedule heading into the upcoming week.

Logs 3.1 innings Hentges gave up two runs on six hits and two walks with a pair of strikeouts in 3.1 innings in Tuesday's 7-3 win over Kansas City. He did not factor in the decision.
Impact Hentges was a little too generous with baserunners, although he largely got away with it. Salvador Perez got the better of the southpaw twice, hitting an RBI single in the third inning and a solo home run in the fifth. Hentges has a 5.00 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB across nine innings this season. He has a loose grip on the fifth starter role and tentatively lines up to face Cincinnati at home this weekend if he remains in the rotation.

Phil Maton will start as an ‘opener,’ rookie Sam Hentges to follow for Cleveland Indians vs. Kansas City Maton will work at least the first inning against the Royals and Hentges will follow according to Terry Francona.
MAY 4, 2021 • CLEVELAND.COM
Following an opener Tuesday Hentges will follow an opener (Phil Maton) Tuesday in Kansas City, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Impact Maton, a righty reliever, will give hitters a different look early in this game before they face Hentges, a big lefty. The 6-foot-8 southpaw has given up three home runs and zero walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings this season. Following Maton will give Hentges a better chance to qualify for the win.
