On mound for Game 5 Curtiss will be on the hill to start Game 5 of the ALCS against the Astros on Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Curtiss will likely be nothing more than an opener in this contest, as he's recorded no more than eight outs in any of his appearances this season. He's a good bet to pitch well during his brief outing, as he recorded a 1.80 ERA and a 25:3 K:BB in 25 innings this season.

Fails to finish an inning as opener Curtiss allowed one run (zero earned) on three hits across two-thirds of an inning Saturday against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Rays' manager Kevin Cash opted to use Curtiss as the team's opener Saturday despite the 27-year-old picking up a save in Friday's series opener. Curtiss allowed consecutive singles to begin the game and was charged with an unearned run after Jean Segura hit a sharp ground ball that forced Yoshi Tsutsugo to make a wild throw to first which plated a run for the Phillies. Curtiss's day was abruptly over after 15 pitches as the righty owns a 1.80 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 25:3 K:BB across 25 innings.

Serving as opener Saturday Curtiss will serve as the opener for Saturday's game against the Phillies, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Impact Curtiss earned the save Friday as he fired one clean inning while striking out three. Despite his ninth-inning role for the series opener, he'll serve as the opener for Saturday's contest. It's unclear who could serve as the primary pitcher during the game.

Wendle's hit in 8th helps Rays ding Phillies' playoff hopes

SEPTEMBER 26, 2020 • Associated Press

Clean outing as opener Curtiss walked one and struck out one in 1.1 scoreless innings during Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Nationals.

Impact The right-hander was effective as Tampa's opener before giving way to Ryan Yarbrough. Curtiss has reeled off nine straight appearances without allowing an earned run, posting a 0.71 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB through 11.1 innings over that stretch with two wins and a save, but his inconsistent role in the Rays bullpen limits his fantasy utility to deeper formats.

Set to open Tuesday Curtiss will serve as the opener Tuesday against the Nationals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The 27-year-old will open for the second time this season, with Ryan Yarbrough following in the bulk role. Curtiss hasn't allowed an earned run over his past 10 innings and has a 1.53 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB across 17.2 frames this season.

Nabs third win Curtiss (3-0) was credited with the win in an extra-inning victory over the Marlins on Sunday, allowing an unearned run on one hit and recording a strikeout over one inning.

Impact Curtiss opened the top of the 10th in typically strong fashion, inducing a groundout from Starling Marte and a lineout from Jesus Aguilar with inning-opening baserunner Lewis Brinson stuck on second base. However, Matt Joyce was subsequently able to bring his teammate home with a clutch two-out single, marking it the first run, albeit unearned, on Curtiss' ledger in the last five appearances. Although the timely hit did give the Marlins a temporary 4-3 advantage, Curtiss garnered his third win of the campaign when Ji-Man Choi and Brandon Lowe were able to bring home a pair of runs for the Rays in the home half of the frame.

Picks up first save Curtiss picked up his first save in Sunday's 5-4 win over Toronto, allowing no hits and no walks in 1.2 scoreless innings. He did not record a strikeout.

Impact Curtiss has demonstrated great versatility of late, picking up his first career save just three days after serving as the team's opener. The right-hander wasn't able to pick up any strikeouts, but he retired each of the five Jays he faced. With Nick Anderson (forearm) landing on the 10-day injured list earlier Sunday, Curtiss could see more save opportunities moving forward.
