Inefficient in no-decision Vasquez allowed two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out one over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Impact Vasquez limited the damage to two runs in the third inning, both of which came on sacrifice flies. It was still an inefficient performance for the right-hander, who threw just 52 of 86 pitches for strikes while walking at least four batters for the fifth time this season. He's fallen short of the five-inning mark twice in his last three starts and has taken nine straight no-decisions, in part due to his inability to pitch deeper into games. Vasquez is at a 3.80 ERA despite a 1.39 WHIP and 50:46 K:BB through 94.2 innings over 19 starts this season. The Padres have games scheduled for 13 straight days coming out of the All-Star break, so Vasquez's spot in the rotation looks safe in the immediate future.

Strong start leads to no-decision Vasquez settled for a no-decision Friday after working six strong innings while allowing two runs on three hits and three walks during Friday's 3-2 win over the Rangers. He struck...

Impact This is the eighth straight start that Vasquez has pitched to a no-decision. Part of it is because the 26-year-old has failed to go deep enough into the game to qualify for a win much of the time, but that wasn't the case Friday as he made it through six innings for just the second time since June 1. The right-hander struck out only one batter, but with a season high of five on the season, that's never really been his game. Vasquez is scheduled to make his next start at home against the Diamondbacks.

Struggles early in no-decision Vasquez did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Reds, allowing four runs on nine hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

Impact Vasquez allowed three runs over the first two innings and exited with a 4-1 deficit before the Padres rallied for a comeback win. While the 26-year-old tossed seven frames in his previous start Sunday, he's failed to complete five innings in four of six June outings. He'll carry a 3.84 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and a troubling 48:39 K:BB across 84.1 innings into a home matchup with the Rangers next weekend.

Quality start in no-decision Vasquez took a no-decision in Sunday's 3-2 win versus the Royals, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out two.

Impact The San Diego righty collected his fifth quality start of the season, as he looked sharp in this 89-pitch outing. Vasquez completed a career-high seven frames, going toe to toe with Kansas City starter Seth Lugo. The only blemish on Vasquez's day was a two-run homer conceded to Salvador Perez in the sixth inning. The 26-year-old will carry at 3.60 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 45:37 K:BB through 80 innings into his next start, which currently lines up to be at Cincinnati next weekend.

Tagged for two homers Vasquez allowed three runs on four hits and struck out two without walking a batter over five innings in a no-decision Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Vasquez completed five frames for the first time in four starts in June. Despite his struggles with pitching deep into games, he's allowed a modest eight runs over 17.2 innings this month, though he's also been tagged for five home runs in that span after Andy Pages took him deep twice Tuesday. Overall, Vasquez has a 3.70 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 43:35 K:BB across 73 innings through 15 starts. Walks have been less of a problem lately -- he's issued one walk or less in six of his last eight outings. Vasquez will look to continue that trend in his next start, tentatively projected to be at home this weekend versus the Royals.

Goes 4.2 innings vs. Dodgers Vasquez did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Dodgers, allowing a run on two hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

Impact While Vasquez only gave up two hits, one was a home run off the bat of Michael Conforto that ultimately forced the right-hander out of the game with two outs in the fifth inning. The Padres have had a tight leash on Vasquez -- he only threw 70 pitches Wednesday after delivering 4.2 scoreless innings in his last start. Overall, Vasquez is 3-4 with a 3.57 ERA with a 1.40 WHIP and 41:35 K:BB across 14 starts (68 innings) this season. He's currently lined up for a rematch with the Dodgers at home in his next outing.
