Logs quality start in loss Freeland (5-17) took the loss against the Giants on Saturday, allowing three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four across six innings.
Impact It was a tough loss for Freeland, whose lone (but crucial) blemish came in the third inning, when he yielded a three-run homer to Casey Schmitt. Freeland will end the season with 17 losses, which is the most of his career and would lead the majors at the end of the season unless Mitchell Parker (9-16) were to take a loss out of the bullpen. Freeland will end the 2025 season with a 4.98 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 124:38 K:BB across 162.2 innings.

Fans seven during win Kyle Freeland (5-16) earned the win Sunday against the Angels, allowing one run on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings.
Impact Freeland bounced back from a rough outing in his previous start, when he surrendered six runs, by limiting Los Angeles to just a first-inning RBI single from Jo Adell before settling in to retire 14 of the final 17 batters he faced. It marked the right-hander's 13th quality start in 30 outings this year. Despite Sunday's win, Freeland remains tied with Mitchell Parker for the MLB lead in losses with 16. The 32-year-old now owns a 5.00 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 120:37 K:BB across 156.2 innings and is scheduled to face San Francisco in his next outing.

Poor outing in loss Freeland (4-16) allowed six runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out one over 5.2 innings to take the loss versus the Marlins.
Impact Freeland hadn't allowed six runs in a start since Aug. 6 versus the Blue Jays. He was fading in the sixth inning when a rain delay occurred, bringing his start to a close at 73 pitches (52 strikes). The veteran southpaw is now at a 5.14 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 113:36 K:BB through 150.2 innings across 29 starts this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Angels over the weekend.

Takes 15th loss Freeland (4-15) took the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing four runs (one earned) on nine hits and one walk while striking out five batters over 5.2 innings.
Impact All four of the runs Freeland allowed came in the second frame, though an inning-opening Rockies error meant that only one of those runs was earned. Nonetheless, Freeland was hardly sharp -- he gave up at least one hit in all but one of the frames in which he pitched and was pulled with two outs in the sixth after loading the bases. The southpaw's loss was his 15th of the campaign, tied for most in the majors with teammate Antonio Senzatela and Washington's Mitchell Parker. Freeland will look to avoid another defeat the next time he takes the mound, which is slated to be next week against Miami.
