Walks four in no-decision Liberatore allowed two runs on four hits and four walks with four strikeouts over five innings Saturday against the Cubs. He didn't factor in the decision.
Impact The left-hander issued just 12 free passes through his first 15 outings of the season, but he's now walked nine batters across his past two starts. The command issues prevented Liberatore from extending his streak of quality starts to four, but he still has a 2.25 ERA over his past four appearances. He's likely to make his last start before the All-Star break next weekend versus Atlanta.

Blanks Cleveland for sixth win Liberatore (6-6) earned the win Sunday over the Guardians, allowing three hits and five walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out five.
Impact Liberatore struggled with his command a bit, issuing a season-high five walks, though he was able to keep Cleveland off the board en route to a third straight win and quality start. The 25-year-old Liberatore lowered his ERA to 3.70 on the season with a 1.16 WHIP and 76:17 K:BB across 16 starts (92.1 innings) this season. The left-hander is currently scheduled to face the division-leading Cubs on the road in his next outing.

Picks up fifth victory Liberatore (5-6) earned the win over the Cubs on Monday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out five batters over seven innings.
Impact Liberatore needed a tidy 85 pitches to complete seven frames, throwing 52 of those offerings for strikes. The southpaw recorded his second straight quality start following a rough three-outing stretch in late May and early June during which he went 0-3 with a 10.29 ERA. Liberatore has a 3.96 overall ERA on the campaign, but without that poor three-start span it would be at 2.74 across 72.1 frames. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start in Cleveland.

Back in win column Liberatore (4-6) got the win Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four in six innings.
Impact Liberatore picked up his first win since May 6 and posted his first quality start since May 24. The control from Liberatore remains impeccable, as he has just five walks over his last 38.1 innings. He also has just a 6.6 K/9 over that span compared to an 8.3 K/9 over his first seven starts of the year. He's still been very consistent overall and will look to take down the Reds at home in his next start this weekend.
