Twirls gem in 10th win Williams (10-4) earned the win Thursday against the Twins, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out 11.

Impact Williams emptied the tank Thursday, matching a season high with 103 pitches, though a Royce Lewis solo homer in the seventh inning put a slight damper on an otherwise dominant performance. A rough stretch since the start of June may have cost the 26-year-old right-hander his first All-Star appearance in 2026, but he still has four double-digit strikeout efforts under his belt to go with six appearances of at least seven innings. Through 113.1 frames, Williams sports a 3.81 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 134:37 K:BB.

Start cut short by rain delay Williams did not factor into Friday's decision against the White Sox, when he allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six across 4.2 innings.

Impact Williams set the tone early by retiring nine of the first batters he faced, including four strikeouts. He almost made it out of the fifth inning unscathed after allowing the first two batters of the frame on base, but he proceeded to give up a two-out, three-run home run to Miguel Vargas. A two-hour rain delay ensued, which prompted the Guardians to pull Williams when play resumed, with the right-hander ending his night with 52 strikes on 79 pitches (65.8 percent) with nine whiffs and five groundouts. He'll take a 3.89 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 106.1 innings into his next start, which is tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Twins in what figures to be Williams' last start before the All-Star break.

Fans six in no-decision Williams did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Mariners, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings.

Impact Williams threw 64 of his 103 pitches for strikes and generated 13 swinging strikes, but Seattle pushed across a run in the second inning before adding two more in the third. The right-hander was lifted after five innings, marking his fifth consecutive start without completing six frames after reaching at that mark in each of his previous eight outings. Williams will carry a 3.81 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 117:34 K:BB into his next scheduled start against the White Sox at home.

Strikes out eight in no-decision Williams did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over five innings against the White Sox. He struck out eight.

Impact Williams allowed a run in the second inning and another in the third frame, but he did a nice job of limiting the damage and avoiding crooked numbers. After logging at least six innings in eight starts entering June, the right-hander has failed to complete six innings in any of his four starts this month, topping out at 5.1 frames. Overall, the 26-year-old owns a 9-4 record with a 3.82 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 111:31 K:BB across 96.2 innings (16 starts) and is lined up to face the Mariners on Sunday.

Gives up two homers in loss Williams (9-4) picked up the loss against the Brewers Wednesday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings.

Impact Despite the longer rest because of the game postponement on Sunday, Williams served up his most earned runs in a start this season, leading to his first loss since May 10. This is Williams' third straight start in which the 26-year-old has not gotten to six innings, after getting to that mark in his last eight starts. Williams has also had problems with the long ball, giving up two more in this game after giving up two in each of his last two starts. The right-hander is scheduled to make his next start against the White Sox next week.

Game postponed Sunday Williams won't start as scheduled Sunday against the Tigers since the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

Impact The Guardians have a team day off Monday, so Williams will end up with a couple extra days of rest before likely taking the mound Tuesday in Milwaukee. The right-hander has surrendered four homers and six earned runs in his past two starts, but he still has a 4-0 record with a 2.59 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB in 31.1 inning across his last five outings.

Serves up two homers in no-decision Williams allowed four runs (three earned) on four hits and three walks while striking out five batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Monday.

Impact The positive aspect of Williams' outing is that he surrendered just four hits, but two of those left the park, and he also walked three batters. This was the second straight start -- both against the Yankees -- in which the right-hander allowed two long balls after doing so in just two of his first 12 appearances to begin the season. Williams has also seen his punchout numbers dip of late -- he's now recorded six or fewer strikeouts in three straight outings following a five-start stretch in which he averaged eight punchouts per appearance. However, Williams still leads the American League with 99 strikeouts overall, and he's added a strong 3.32 ERA and 1.10 WHIP along with nine wins (tied for first in the majors) through 14 starts spanning 86.2 frames.

Hurt by hard contact in win Williams (9-3) earned the win Wednesday against the Yankees, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

Impact Although Williams gave up just four knocks Wednesday, three went for extra bases and two left the yard. The 26-year-old right-hander has provided consistent length for the Guardians in 2026, pitching at least five innings in all 13 starts thus far, and he's fanned at least six in 10 outings. Williams will take a steady 3.20 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 94:25 K:BB over 81.2 innings into his next start, which is set to be a rematch at home against the Yankees.
