Impact The right-hander allowed a run on two hits and a walk during the second inning and a solo homer in the fifth, but he was otherwise able to keep Milwaukee in check.

Blanks Phils for third win Williams (3-2) picked up the win Friday, allowing four hits and four walks over five scoreless innings in a 6-0 victory over the Phillies. He struck out eight.

Impact The right-hander once again struggled with his control and his efficiency, tossing only 53 of 98 pitches for strikes before exiting, but 31 called or swinging strikes helped make sure Philly couldn't capitalize on their baserunners. Williams has struck out at least eight batters in three of his last four trips to the mound, but he's also issued multiple free passes in seven straight outings. He'll carry a 4.38 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 45:23 K:BB through 37 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Brewers.

Fans nine in no-decision Williams came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays, giving up two runs on seven hits and five walks over four innings. He struck out nine.

Impact The right-hander was far from efficient, throwing 59 of 100 pitches for strikes, but his ability to generate timely strikeouts minimized the damage against him. Williams still exited the mound in line for the loss, but a Daniel Schneemann grand slam in the ninth inning got him off the hook. Williams will carry a 5.06 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 37:19 K:BB through 32 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Phillies.
