Plesac had to settle for his sixth straight quality start and eighth of the season, and he'll carry a 3.86 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 57:20 K:BB through 79.1 innings into his next outing.

Takes tough loss Thursday Plesac (2-5) took the loss against Minnesota on Thursday despite allowing only one run on three hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.

Impact The only damage on the scoreboard against Plesac came on Nick Gordon's third-inning solo home run, but that was enough to saddle the Guardians' starter with the loss as Devin Smeltzer and a trio of Twins relievers combined on a shutout. Despite the disappointing outcome, this was another positive outing for Plesac, who has registered five straight quality starts and posted a 2.40 ERA over that span. The strong stretch has brought his season ERA down to 4.17 after it sat at 5.40 through his first eight starts.

Picks up quality start Plesac allowed a run on five hits and two walks with one strikeout in six innings Friday versus the Dodgers. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Plesac has notched a quality start in five of his last six outings after doing so just once in his first six starts of the year. He's also struck out only three batters in his last two games. The lone mistake on his line Friday was a Cody Bellinger solo home run in the second inning. With the strong game, Plesac lowered his ERA to 4.41 with a 1.28 WHIP and 44:15 K:BB through 67.1 innings. He'll look to keep up his recent improvements in a road start versus the Twins next week.
