Keegan Akin - Page 8 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Pitches into sixth Akin surrendered one run on five hits and a walk while striking out six in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact The 26-year-old pitched well in this one, with his only run coming after he was pulled from the game. Andrew McCutchen launched a home run off of Eric Hanhold and scored Bryce Harper who Akin allowed to reach before exiting. The outing snapped a seven-start streak of giving up a home run for the lefty and the one walk was his lowest amount allowed since Aug. 10. He's lined up to face the Red Sox in his next start Tuesday.

Impact After winning his last two starts, Sunday's outing was a bit of a disappointment for Akin, but he was able to avoid the loss as Baltimore pulled ahead in the seventh inning. The southpaw has a 7.00 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 73:34 K:BB through 79.2 innings this year. He's expected to remain in the rotation for the rest of the season, as Baltimore will evaluate some of its younger arms over the final month of the year. Akin projects for a tough matchup versus Toronto during next weekend's four-game series.

The rookies come up big as Orioles snap four-game losing streak Starter Keegan Akin, first baseman Ryan Mountcastle and infielder Ramón Ur�as play a starring role in Baltimore’s 4-2 victory over Toronto.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2021 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM

Collects second win Akin (2-8) picked up the win in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Impact Aside from a third-inning solo shot by Danny Jansen, Akin kept the dangerous Toronto lineup in check for 85 pitches (53 strikes). The 26-year-old southpaw seems to be turning his season around, posting a 2.65 ERA and 1.06 WHIP through 17 innings over his last three starts, but a 4.2 BB/9 and 2.1 HR/9 during that stretch suggest those strong ratios could be a mirage.
