GAVIN WILLIAMS NEWS

Guardians-Royals postponed Williams will not pitch against the Royals on Friday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

Dominates with season-high 11 Ks Williams (6-4) earned the win Sunday against the Athletics, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out 11 over seven innings.

Impact Williams was in complete control from the jump, racking up seven strikeouts over the first three innings alone and finishing the day with season-highs in both punch outs and innings pitched. The 24-year-old right-hander bounced back in impressive fashion, particularly with his command, after issuing 12 walks over his previous three starts entering Sunday. He'll carry a 3.54 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 106:58 K:BB into his next scheduled outing, Friday against the Royals, looking to build on this momentum as the second half of the season unfolds.

Impact The right-hander's control and command continue to be an issue. Williams tossed 59 of 102 pitches for strikes before getting the hook after allowing a leadoff single to Luis Robert in the sixth, but Lenyn Sosa was his biggest nemesis as the Chicago second baseman launched solo shots in the first and fifth innings. The five free passes weren't even a season high for Williams -- he issued six walks May 26 against the Dodgers -- and he's walked multiple batters in 10 straight trips to the mound, a stretch from which he's somehow emerged with a respectable 3.25 ERA and 1.27 WHIP despite a 44:33 K:BB over 55.1 innings.

Dominant against Tigers Williams did not factor in the decision during Sunday's extra-inning loss to Detroit. He allowed a hit and three walks over six shutout frames while striking out eight.

Impact Williams walked the first batter of the game before retiring 14 straight Tigers. He worked around a bases-loaded jam in the fifth inning and kept Detroit off the board during one of his best starts of the year. Williams threw 61 of 97 pitches for strikes and generated 18 whiffs, including seven with his sweeper. Unfortunately for Williams, Cleveland's offense couldn't get anything going against Tarik Skubal and eventually lost in the 10th frame. Williams has walked at least three batters in five straight outings and now owns a 90:52 K:BB through 92.1 frames. He'll carry a 3.61 ERA into his next outing, which is expected to be on the road against the White Sox.

Takes fourth loss Williams (5-4) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and four walks over 5.2 innings in a 5-2 loss against the Cubs. He struck out two.

Impact Williams had trouble with command and putting hitters away Tuesday, issuing more walks than strikeouts for the second consecutive outing. The 25-year-old owns a 3.86 ERA through 17 starts and 86.1 innings this season, an improvement from his 4.86 ERA over 76.0 innings in 2024. However, a rise in WHIP (1.37 to 1.46), walk rate (3.8 to 5.1 BB/9) and FIP (3.66 to 4.76) suggests regression could be on the horizon. How the young right-hander holds up down the stretch as the Guardians try to stay in the playoff hunt will be worth monitoring.

Impact Williams allowed just one run over his first five innings but was unable to escape the sixth, ultimately being charged with three runs (two earned) in the frame. While the 25-year-old's 20:13 K:BB over five June outings is underwhelming, he has a 2.57 ERA across 28 innings while notching three quality starts during that stretch. He'll carry a 3.68 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 80:45 K:BB across 80.2 innings into a road matchup with the Cubs.
