Baltimore to visit Kansas City Saturday

The Royals will start Brady Singer on Saturday while the Orioles have yet to decide who will take the mound

JULY 17, 2021 • Associated Press

Shelled in short start Akin (0-5) took the loss against Kansas City on Friday, completing three innings and allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out two.

Impact The Royals put at least one run on the board in each of Akin's three frames, and they crossed the plate four times in a big second inning. The southpaw needed 74 pitches to retire nine batters, and he has now given up at least four earned runs in each of his past seven outings. Given his 8.19 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and paltry 21.5 strikeout percentage, he doesn't carry much fantasy appeal. Akin is tentatively slated to next face Washington at home next Friday.

Works in long relief Akin allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out six in 4.1 innings during Saturday's loss to the White Sox.

Impact After his expected appearance Thursday was rained out, Akin became available out of the bullpen leading into the All-Star break. The southpaw was called upon after starter Thomas Eshelman ran into trouble in the third inning Saturday. Akin then allowed a pair of runs in both the fifth and seventh innings, resulting in a so-so performance. Through 45.1 innings this year, the 26-year-old has a 7.54 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB. He may start the second half in the rotation, but he's hardly been successful as either a starter or bulk reliever this year.

Thursday's game postponed Akin won't serve as the primary pitcher Thursday versus the Blue Jays since the game was postponed due to rain, joe reports.

Impact The left-hander was slated to follow opener Dillon Tate, but the postponement will lead to an unplanned off day for both teams. According to Joe Trezza of MLB.com, Baltimore won't alter it's pitching plans for this weekend against the White Sox despite the schedule change, so Akin should be available out of the bullpen for the final three games before the All-Star break.

Bulk role on tap Thursday Akin will follow opener Dillon Tate as the primary pitcher Thursday against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Akin has a 12.18 ERA and 2.18 WHIP over 17 frames in his past four starts, so manager Brandon Hyde will utilize him behind an opener in hopes of better results. Assuming the left-hander pitches better Thursday, he should have a better chance of qualifying for a victory since he won't need to last a full five innings.

Won't start Thursday Akin won't start Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The southpaw was initially listed as the starter for Thursday's matchup, but the Orioles now plan to use Dillon Tate as an opener. As long as Akin isn't hurt, he could presumably be available to serve as the primary pitcher against Toronto. Across his last four appearances, the 26-year-old has posted a 12.18 ERA and 2.18 WHIP in 17 innings.

Coughs up four runs Akin yielded four runs on seven hits and a walk over three innings in Friday's loss to the Angels. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Most of the damage against Akin came via the long ball; he coughed up a two-run shot to Jose Iglesias in the second inning before serving up a solo homer to Shohei Ohtani in the third. The lone positive from Friday's outing is that he halted his four-start losing streak. In seven starts this season, the 26-year-old lefty owns an unsightly 7.92 ERA. Akin is currently lined up to face the Blue Jays at home next week.

Woeful against Toronto Akin (0-4) was tagged with the loss Saturday against the Blue Jays after allowing six runs on seven hits and a walk while fanning three across 4.1 innings.

Impact Akin has dropped each of his last four appearances and has allowed at least five earned runs in his last three contests, so he's been far from reliable when he steps on the mound. The southpaw owns an 8.61 ERA across five appearances this month, and he's scheduled to make his next start on the road against the Angels next week.

JUNE 22, 2021 • Associated Press

Roughed up in third straight loss Akin (0-3) took the loss Monday against the Astros, allowing five runs on six hits and four walks across four-plus innings. He struck out five.

Impact Akin's outing got off to a solid start, with the southpaw scattering a pair of hits and a walk across a scoreless first two innings. Things fell apart quickly in the third, however, with two hits and two walks setting up a three-run homer for Yordan Alvarez to put Houston up 5-0. He settled down for a scoreless fourth frame but was chased after allowing a leadoff single in the fifth. Since recording a solid scoreless outing June 4, Akin has allowed an unimpressive 16 earned runs on 19 hits during a three-start losing streak. He'll look to turn things around when he toes the rubber over the weekend against the Blue Jays in Buffalo.
