It was the ninth time this season that the southpaw has pitched into at least the sixth inning, doing so in only 79 pitches this time around. His recent success has improved his season stats to a 3.63 ERA and 1.28 WHIP across 94.1 innings.

Earns third straight win McClanahan (7-4) allowed three runs (two earned) on eight hits and two walks over 5.1 innings Friday, striking out six and earning a win over Minnesota.
Impact McClanahan started the outing with three shutout innings before allowing a run in each of the fourth, fifth and sixth frames. The Rays provided plenty of offense to help the rookie southpaw pick up his third straight victory. It was the first time in four starts that he failed to complete six innings but he lowered his season ERA to 3.73 in the process. McClanahan will carry a 105:30 K:BB into next week's projected home start against Baltimore.

Stifles O's in winning effort McClanahan improved to 6-4 while limiting the Orioles to three runs on five hits and a walk over seven innings in Saturday's 12-3 win. He struck out eight in the outing, matching h...
Impact The quality start was the third in a row for McClanahan, who has been earned the trust from manager Kevin Cash to work deeper into games after he failed to push past 5.1 innings in each of his preceding three starts. With Rich Hill having been dealt to the Mets ahead of the trade deadline and with Tyler Glasnow (elbow) recently ruled out from making a late-season return after undergoing Tommy John surgery, the Rays will likely count on McClanahan to be a stabilizing force near the top of the rotation as the team prepares for a potential playoff run.

Holds Boston to one run McClanahan (5-4) won Sunday's 3-2 contest against the Red Sox, allowing one run on four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in six innings.
Impact McClanahan limited a potent Boston lineup to a single run and really only encountered trouble in the fourth inning, when Hunter Renfroe homered, and was able to work out of a two-on, one-out jam. The successful outing marks consecutive quality starts for the rookie left-hander -- McClanahan went six innings while allowing one run or less, a combo he's now achieved just twice in 16 starts.

Takes loss despite quality start McClanahan (4-4) took the loss Tuesday as the Rays were downed 4-3 by the Yankees, giving up three runs on nine hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out six.
Impact The rookie wasn't especially sharp, tossing 60 of 89 pitches for strikes, but he pitched well enough to earn his third quality start of the season -- all of which have come in his last six outings. With the Rays letting McClanahan work a bit deeper into games, he's posted a solid 3.34 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 38:12 K:BB through 32.1 innings over that stretch.

McClanahan will carry a 3.88 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 78:22 K:BB through 65 innings into his next appearance.
