Takes sixth loss Plesac (10-6) took the loss Friday versus the Yankees. He allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk with six strikeouts in six innings.
Impact While Cleveland at least put seven runners on base in the contest, the offense didn't provide Plesac with much support after giving him no hits in his last start. The 26-year-old wasn't very sharp Friday either, allowing home runs to Joey Gallo and Aaron Judge before running into more trouble in the seventh inning. Through 131.1 innings this year, Plesac has a 4.59 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 94:30 K:BB. He lines up for a home start versus Kansas City next week.

No help in loss Plesac (10-5) allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts in six innings, taking the loss versus Milwaukee on Saturday.
Impact For the third time this season, Cleveland's offense mustered zero hits in one of Plesac's starts. To the 26-year-old's credit, he rebounded after a tough first two innings to earn a quality start despite the loss. The right-hander has a 4.45 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 88:29 K:BB through 125.1 innings this season. He's limited opponents to three or fewer runs in each of his last four starts. Plesac is projected to make his next start on the road against the Yankees next weekend.

Earns 10th win Plesac (10-4) allowed three runs on eight hits and three walks with five strikeouts in five innings to earn the win Sunday versus Boston.
Impact The right-hander put quite a bit of traffic on the basepaths, but Boston proved unable to capitalize until the fifth inning. Cleveland was able to hold onto its lead, giving Plesac his 10th win of the year in his 21st start. He's been solid across 119.1 innings, posting a 4.53 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 85:27 K:BB this season. With Cleveland at least temporarily shifting to a six-man rotation, Plesac's next start is currently projected for Saturday at home versus Milwaukee.

It was his first scoreless start since May 7 versus the Reds and the starter had struggled to an ERA of 6.33 over his prior five starts in August. He'll look to build on his success from this outing in his next one, tentatively lined up for Sunday in Boston.

Plesac will take a 4.78 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 73:24 K:BB through 107.1 innings into his next outing.
