Rough start in loss Kuhl (3-2) took the loss after allowing six runs (five earned) on eight hits and a walk in three innings. He did not strike out a batter as the Rockies lost 10-7 Tuesday against th...

Impact Kuhl struggled from the beginning as Tommy La Stella led off the game with a homer. Five of the hits he allowed went for extra bases and two errors in the field by Brendan Rodgers didn't help to stop the bleeding. The 29-year-old has been hit hard in consecutive starts (both against the Giants), giving up 10 earned runs in 7.2 innings and allowing 19 baserunners. His ERA has ballooned from 1.82 to 3.86 over those innings.

Roughed up by Giants Kuhl (3-1) was tagged with the loss Wednesday after pitching 4.2 innings, surrendering five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out eight versus the Giants.

Impact Kuhl was able to keep the Giants off the board through three innings, but the wheels fell off in the bottom of the fourth. The Giants scratched across three runs in the frame and the Brandon Crawford launched a two-run homer the following inning, ending the right-hander's outing with two outs in the fifth. Kuhl came into the contest having tossed four straight quality starts, but it came to an end Wednesday. It wasn't all bad though, as the the eight punchouts were a season-high for him. Kuhl will carry a 2.88 ERA and 1.02 WHIP into his next outing, which tentatively projects to come Tuesday against the Giants again.

Posts quality start Kuhl got a no-decision during Friday's 4-1 loss to Arizona, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with five strikeouts in six innings.

Impact Kuhl engaged in a pitchers' duel with Arizona starter Merrill Kelly and held up his end by recording his fourth straight quality start. The 29-year-old permitted his lone run in the second inning and tied a season high with five strikeouts. Kuhl will take a 1.82 ERA into his next start, likely to come against the Giants next week.

Beats Reds for third win Kuhl (3-0) picked up the win over the Reds on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits over 7.1 innings. He struck out four and did not issue a walk.

Impact His outing was bookended by homers; Kuhl allowed a long ball to Tyler Naquin on the first pitch he threw and another to Aramis Garcia on the last pitch he threw. Kuhl was strong in between and now sits with a 1.90 ERA through four starts this season (two at Coors Field). His 17 strikeouts in 23.2 innings don't exactly scream "dominant," however, and he's enjoyed a pretty favorable schedule to date.

Secures second victory Kuhl (2-0) earned the win Sunday at Detroit after giving up one run on four hits with four strikeouts and two walks across six innings.

Impact The right-hander allowed a run on two hits during the third inning but otherwise shut down the Tigers. Kuhl was able to generate 15 swinging strikes, though those results didn't produce many strikeouts. The 29-year-old has now surrendered only two runs this season and has delivered two straight quality starts. He lines up for an appealing matchup versus the Reds next weekend.

Probable starter for Sunday The Rockies list Kuhl (hip) as their probable starting pitcher for Sunday's game in Detroit.

Impact Kuhl's inclusion on the pitching schedule for this weekend's series in Detroit confirms that he felt fine coming out of his between-starts bullpen session after he was nagged by a right hip issue in his most recent outing Monday against the Phillies. Despite being at less-than-optimal health against Philadelphia, Kuhl cruised through six shutout innings at Coors Field en route to nabbing his first win of the season.

Expects to make next start Kuhl (hip) said Wednesday that he expects to make his next turn through the rotation, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Kuhl was removed from Monday's start against the Phillies due to a right hip flexor injury, but he said two days later that his hip is "not an issue." While the Rockies will presumably monitor the right-hander's health this week, it appears as though he'll be able to take the mound when he's tentatively scheduled to start Sunday at Detroit.

Bothered by hip issue Kuhl exited Monday's start against the Phillies due to a right hip flexor injury, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Kuhl threw six shutout innings to earn his first win with Colorado, allowing only two hits and a walk while striking out four. However, he was pulled after just 68 pitches due to the discomfort. It's unclear whether the issue will be enough to jeopardize his next outing, which is currently set for Sunday at Detroit.

Notches first win Kuhl (1-0) allowed two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings Monday, striking out four and earning a win over the Phillies.

Impact Kuhl was dominant Monday and never faced much of a threat from the Phillies. He needed just 68 pitches to finish six shutout frames and, at one point, he retired 10 consecutive batters. The 29-year-old righty is sporting a 0.87 ERA through 10.1 innings this season. Kuhl is expected to take the mound in Detroit this weekend.

Falls short of win Kuhl got a no-decision during Tuesday's 4-1 victory over Texas, allowing one run on two hits and four walks with five strikeouts in 4.1 innings.

Impact Making his first start with his new team, Kuhl encountered trouble in the second and fifth innings --the inning he surrendered his lone run and one in which he was removed -- but pitched well in the first, third and fourth. Although the four walks are concerning, the 29-year-old showed enough to merit streamer consideration in road starts. He lines up to take the hill next against Philadelphia on Monday.

Gets opportunity in Colorado Kuhl agreed Monday with the Rockies on a major-league contract, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Opening Day starter for the Pirates in 2022, Kuhl produced a 4.43 ERA and 58:35 K:BB in 67 innings over 14 turns through the rotation before making a full-time move to the bullpen in late August. It's not immediately clear whether the Rockies want to first try him out in their rotation or are viewing him as more of a swingman who can be plugged into a starting role when injuries hit. Regardless, Kuhl's career 10.3 BB% and 1.2 HR/9 rate wouldn't seem to make him an appealing fantasy option now that he'll be pitching at altitude for home games.

DECEMBER 1, 2021 • MLB.COM

Non-tendered by Pittsburgh The Pirates opted not to tender Kuhl a contract for 2022, making him a free agent.

Impact Kuhl started in 14 of 28 appearances for Pittsburgh in 2021 and had a 4.82 ERA, 1.43 WHIP an 75:42 K:BB across 80.1 innings. The 29-year-old has been unable to put it all together at the big-league level and will now look to continue his career elsewhere.
