Foster Griffin - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Chased out of third inning in loss Griffin (15-5) took the loss against the Orioles on Wednesday, allowing eight runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four across 2.1 innings.

Impact Griffin looked like he was in control of Wednesday's start after ending the second frame with back-to-back strikeouts. However, things fell apart for him in the third, when he allowed nine of the 10 batters he faced on base, resulting in an eight-run frame that his Guardians teammates couldn't make up for offensively. It was the first time this season that Griffin failed to complete at least three innings in a start, and the eight runs allowed were his second-most of the season (nine runs allowed against the Reds on May 14). He sits at a 3.65 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 162.2 innings this season, and Griffin will look to bounce back in his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against the White Sox.

He'll take an excellent 3.06 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 116:30 K:BB over 129.1 innings into his next scheduled outing versus Detroit.

Records 15th victory Griffin (15-4) earned the win Sunday against the Rockies, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings.

Impact Griffin labored through a 47-pitch second inning that accounted for both Colorado runs, and he was fortunate to escape the frame with the bases loaded without further damage. Cleveland provided plenty of support with six runs while he was on the mound, helping Griffin secure his 15th victory, one short of the MLB lead. The left-hander has failed to complete six innings in four of his last five starts and his ERA sits at 3.19 alongside a 1.13 WHIP and 135:38 K:BB across 149.1 innings this season. He's scheduled to face the Royals at home in his next start.

Collects 14th win of 2026 Griffin (14-4) earned the win against the Giants on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out six across six innings.

Impact The Guardians' offense supplied seven runs through the the first four innings of Tuesday's game, which was plenty of cushion for Griffin. The 31-year-old southpaw gave up a solo homer to Bryce Eldridge in the second inning, but that turned out to be the only blemish to Griffin's night, who logged his 12th game of six or more strikeouts and his 13th quality start of the season. Griffin's 14 wins are tied with Chase Burns for third-most in the majors behind Cristopher Sanchez (16) and Sonny Gray (15). Griffin will take a 3.18 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over 144.1 innings into his next start, tentatively slated for this weekend on the road against the Rockies.

Struggles again in team debut Griffin (12-4) took the loss against the Mets on Thursday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out six.

Impact Making his Guardians debut, Griffin didn't leave an encouraging first impression with his new club. The left-hander has now coughed up 11 runs in his past two starts (9.1 innings), which is quite the disappointment after he gave up 10 runs altogether in his previous nine outings to that stretch. Griffin will be aiming to get back on track his next time out in Detroit, where he'll bring what remains an impressive 3.31 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 122:32 K:BB over 133.1 innings for Washington and Cleveland.
