Continues racking up strikeouts Williams (12-7) notched the win against the Giants on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out 11.

Impact Willaims dominated at times, touching 100 mph with his fastball three times while generating 18 whiffs, but San Francisco did manage to get to him for a pair of runs in the fourth inning. The right-hander continues to be a strikeout artist, fanning double-digit hitters in six of his last eight outings. Williams, who is tied with Dylan Cease for the league lead in punchouts, will take a 3.72 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 201:48 K:BB over 154.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Angels in Anaheim.

Surrenders five runs in loss Williams (11-7) allowed five runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings in Friday's 7-5 loss to San Diego.

Impact Williams was handed a 3-0 lead after the first three innings but couldn't protect it. The right-hander surrendered a two-run homer to Xander Bogaerts in the fourth before Fernando Tatis Jr. took him deep to open the fifth, and he was ultimately removed following a two-run double from Luis Campusano. The rough outing extended Williams' stretch of non-quality starts to three outings while pushing his ERA from 3.55 to 3.74. He's scheduled to make his next start at home against the Giants.

Strikes out seven in no-decision Williams allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Saturday.

Impact Williams was sharp for most of this outing, but he allowed a solo home run to Munetaka Murakami in the sixth inning and couldn't get back on track after that. Williams left after 102 pitches (68 strikes), only for Colin Holderman to fail to get the last out in the sixth, tacking one more run onto Williams' line. Over his last four outings, Williams has allowed four runs across 25.1 innings with 40:4 K:BB, accounting for one of his sharpest stretches of the season. He's at a 3.55 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 185:41 K:BB through 144.2 innings over 24 starts overall. The 27-year-old right-hander is projected to make his next start at home versus the Padres.

Continues dominant stretch Williams (11-6) earned the win Sunday against the Diamondbacks, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out 10 over 5.2 scoreless innings.

Impact Williams was perfect through five innings, piling up nine strikeouts, including five against consecutive batters. Tim Tawa finally broke up the no-hit bid with a leadoff single in the sixth, and a rain delay ended Williams' afternoon with two outs in the inning after he had thrown 89 pitches. The right-hander has now recorded double-digit strikeouts in five consecutive starts, compiling an incredible 55:3 K:BB across 32.2 innings with a 2.48 ERA during that span. Through 23 starts this season, Williams owns a 3.56 ERA and 1.04 WHIP, and his 178 strikeouts trail only Jacob Misiorowski for the MLB lead.
