Guaranteed Rate Field
Guaranteed Rate Field, Chicago, IL
Cole Irvin - Works around 11 baserunners Irvin (9-11) allowed three earned runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out one across six innings to earned the win Thursday against the White Sox.
Impact Irvin worked himself into trouble on several different occasions, but he avoided he a catastrophic inning to escape with a quality start and a win. Across his last two starts, Irvin has allowed six earned runs across 11 innings. That alone isn't all that concerning, but in that same span he's allowed 15 hits, five walks and struck out only three. While he hasn't succeeded on the basis of a high strikeout rate this season, Irvin will likely need to miss a few more bats than he has of late to maintain his strong ratios. Through 141.1 innings, Irvin has maintained a 3.57 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with a 97:29 K:BB on the campaign.

Andrew Vaughn - Slugs two-run homer Vaughn went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer with two walks Thursday against the Athletics.
Impact Vaughn took Cole Irvin yard in the fifth inning to record his 15th home run of the season. Across 14 games in August, Vaughn now has four home runs, 10 RBI and seven runs scored. He's also struck out at just a 15.4 percent clip in that span. For the season, Vaughn has improved his line to .263/.335/.462 with 42 RBI and 51 runs scored across 382 plate appearances.

Dylan Cease - Manages quality start Cease allowed three earned runs on four hits and four walks while striking out five across six innings Thursday against the Athletics. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Cease surrendered a pair of solo home runs, which accounted for the majority of the damage against him. It was the first time that he allowed multiple long balls in a start since June 30 -- a stretch of eight appearances. He also didn't show his typical ability to induce whiffs, as he had just 12 swinging strikes on 102 total pitches. Even so, Cease escaped with his third quality start in his last five outings. For the season, Cease has a 4.06 ERA with 170 strikeouts and 53 walks across 130.2 innings.
