Season-high eight strikeouts in win Liberatore (3-3) picked up the win Tuesday against the Pirates after allowing one run on three hits and three walks in seven innings. He struck out eight.
Impact During what's already been a promising start to the year for Liberatore, he delivered perhaps his finest performance of the campaign so far. The 2018 first-rounder set season highs in innings and punchouts, generating 17 whiffs in the process. Although his three walks did mark a season worst, Liberatore threw at least six frames and surrendered two runs or fewer for the fourth time in his past five outings. The left-hander owns an outstanding 3.07 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 38:6 K:BB over 41 innings in 2025, but he's in line for a tough test in his next scheduled appearance against the Phillies next week.

Start shortened by rain delay Liberatore (2-3) was charged with the loss Thursday in Cincinnati after giving up two runs on two hits and a walk across three innings. He struck out two.
Impact The left-hander surrendered a two-run homer to Jose Trevino during the second inning but didn't get a chance to work much deeper into Thursday's contest due to a lengthy rain delay. The long ball is just the second allowed this season by Liberatore, and he's also issued only three walks through six starts. He's been a strong rotation piece for St. Louis early in 2025 and has a 3.44 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 30 strikeouts over 34 innings.

Back in the win column Liberatore (2-2) earned the win against the Brewers on Friday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits while striking out four across six innings. He did not issue a walk.
Impact Liberatore got through the first five innings with ease, allowing just two base runners over that span. His shutout efforts were dashed in the sixth inning on a Christian Yelich RBI single, and Liberatore was tagged for a second run after being lifted in the seventh frame. It was Liberatore's third-straight quality start and fourth of the season, and his 0.97 WHIP through 31.0 innings is ninth-best in the National League among qualified starters. He's tentatively slated to start next week on the road against the Reds.

Takes loss despite quality start Liberatore (1-2) took the loss against the Mets on Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six in 6.2 innings.
Impact Both of the runs Liberatore yielded came in the third inning, the second of which came on a Pete Alonso RBI double. Liberatore was dominant outside of that frame, generating 13 whiffs while logging the quality start on 100 pitches (66 strikes). The 25-year-old southpaw has allowed three earned runs or less in three of his four starts this season and has a 3.60 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 24:2 K:BB across 25 innings. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the Brewers.

Blanks Phillies Liberatore (1-1) tossed six scoreless innings in a win over the Phillies on Sunday, allowing just three hits and a walk while striking out seven.
Impact Liberatore had an outstanding performance leading to his first win of the season. He had almost 60 pitches through three frames but went nine up, nine down over the next three innings. Liberatore did an excellent job of getting ahead of the count and his slider was fooling hitters with a 66.7 percent whiff rate. Liberatore owns a 3.93 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 18:1 K:BB in 18.1 innings and lines up for a road start against the Mets this week.
