Brandon Pfaadt - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Secures win Friday Pfaadt (8-3) allowed four runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out seven over 7.2 innings to earn the win over the Padres on Friday.

Impact Pfaadt put the Diamondbacks in a good spot for the rest of the weekend, sparing the bullpen with a long outing. He threw 71 of 106 pitches for strikes and earned the win to keep Arizona's playoff hopes alive, gaining ground on the Phillies after their loss to the Rays. Pfaadt had gone six starts without a win prior to Friday. He ends the regular season at a 3.77 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 94:32 K:BB across 136 innings over 29 games (19 starts), and he's pitched well enough to warrant a start in the wild-card round if Arizona makes the postseason.

Tosses 4.1 innings in no-decision Saturday Pfaadt didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Yankees after allowing one run on four hits and a walk while striking out three over 4.1 innings.

Impact Pfaadt kept New York scoreless through four innings before running into trouble in the fifth. Two singles and a walk loaded the bases with one out, prompting Arizona to turn to Justin Martinez. Ben Rice's sacrifice fly brought home the only run charged to Pfaadt before Martinez prevented further damage. This was a much-needed bounce-back performance for Pfaadt, who had given up six runs on 10 hits across 6.2 innings against the Rangers the last time out and was coming off a five-start stretch between Aug. 19 and Sept. 12 in which he'd posted a 5.74 ERA with a 23:5 K:BB across 31.1 innings. Pfaadt is scheduled to make his next start against the Padres on the road Friday.

Lit up for six runs in loss Pfaadt (7-3) allowed six runs on 10 hits and a hit batsman while striking out seven and walking none over 6.2 innings, taking the loss versus the Rangers on Saturday.

Impact Pfaadt again provided good length, but he wasn't able to collect a third straight quality start. He has given up 20 runs over 31.1 innings across his last five starts, going winless in that stretch. For the season, the right-hander is at a 3.77 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 84:29 K:BB through 124 innings over 27 games (17 starts). Pfaadt is projected to make his next start at home versus the Yankees.

Logs quality start Saturday Pfaadt allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters over 6.1 innings in a no-decision against Houston on Saturday.

Impact Pfaadt was behind 3-2 when he exited with one out in the seventh inning, but Arizona scored a run in the eighth to take him off the look for a loss. The right-hander finished with his second straight quality start and his seventh such effort across his past nine outings, a span during which he's posted a 2.47 ERA while going 3-1. Pfaadt will look to extend the strong stretch his next time out, which is projected to be a home tilt versus Texas.

Pitches well but takes loss Monday Pfaadt (7-2) allowed two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out one batter over six innings in a loss to Philadelphia on Monday.

Impact Pfaadt didn't have his swing-and-stuff going, as he notched only five whiffs and one punchout. Nonetheless, he was able to keep the Phillies mostly in check en route to his eighth quality start of the campaign. Despite that achievement, Pfaadt saw his streak of 21 outings without a loss come to an end -- prior to Monday, his only other defeat came April 11 in his third appearance of the season. He'll try to start a new win streak the next time he takes the mound, which is lined up to be on the road in Houston.

Shaky in no-decision Pfaadt allowed four runs on six hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out three over 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Cubs on Tuesday.

Impact Pfaadt was able to provide some length in this start, but he was tagged for a three-run home run by Ian Happ in the fourth inning. With nine runs allowed, including four homers, over his last two starts, Pfaadt's improvements in July and early August look to be fading. He's still at a strong 3.51 ERA with a 1.14 WHIP and 72:26 K:BB through 105 innings over 24 games (14 starts) this year. Pfaadt is lined up to make his next start at home versus the Phillies.

Gives up five runs in no-decision Pfaadt didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Red Sox, allowing five runs on seven hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out eight.

Impact Pfaadt's eight strikeouts marked a new season high, though he was hurt by the home-run ball Wednesday -- the righty gave up solo shots to Nick Sogard and Jarren Duran before Mickey Gasper added a three-run blast in the sixth inning. Prior to Wednesday, Pfaadt had gone four straight outings without allowing an earned run, posting a 0.69 WHIP across 27.2 innings in that span. His ERA now sits at 3.39 across 98.1 innings this season with a 1.14 WHIP and 69:24 K:BB. Pfaadt's currently in line to face the Cubs at home his next time out.
