ZACK GREINKE NEWS

Goes seven innings in no-decision Greinke yielded two runs on 10 hits over seven innings Friday, striking out six batters in a win over the Angels. He did not factor in the decision.

Impact Greinke finished the seventh inning and was in line for the loss before Yuli Gurriel knocked a game-tying blast in the bottom of the frame. The 37-year-old righty wasn't at his best Friday but forced three double plays to quickly silence the Angels' threats. Both runs he allowed came during the fifth inning on RBI hits by Shohei Ohtani and Jared Walsh. Greinke will carry a 2.76 ERA into next Wednesday's home matchup with Seattle.

Blanks Mariners over eight Greinke (2-1) allowed four hits over eight scoreless innings in a win over the Mariners on Saturday. He struck out six and did not issue a walk.

Impact After Greinke breezed through eight scoreless on 91 pitches, Ryan Pressly enter the game and completed the shutout for Houston. True to his word, Greinke ditched his slider in this outing, as Brian McTaggart of MLB.com notes. The right-hander said he would table the pitch after he was rocked for three homers against the Tigers earlier this week. He has four other quality pitches to lean on and will hope this formula can produce similar results at home against the Angels next week.

Serves up three homers in loss Greinke (1-1) allowed six runs on 10 hits -- including three home runs -- over 4.2 innings in a loss to the Tigers on Monday. He struck out two and walked three batters.

Impact Greinke was not happy with his slider and even suggested to Brian McTaggart of MLB.com that he could table the pitch. "I don't ever want to throw it again after today," Greinke said. "It was bad." Opponents have hit close to .300 against his slider the past two years, so he may be on to something, but Greinke should not feel the need to tweak his formula too much. He had a 1.38 ERA in his first two starts of 2021. Up next is a road start in Seattle.

Settles for no-decision in win Greinke (1-0) did not factor into the decision during Tuesday's win over the Angels, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four across seven innings.

Impact The 37-year-old looked solid once again, limiting the damage to a two-run home run off the bat of Mike Trout in the first inning. Greinke blanked the Astros over the next six innings, leaving the game with the score tied, 2-2. The right-hander was making his 461st career start, the most among active pitchers. In his Opening Day debut, Greinke tossed six scoreless innings, allowing three hits and no walks. He'll look to notch his 210th career win Monday against Detroit.
