Picks up first save Hentges struck out two batters over 2.1 perfect innings and earned a save over Minnesota on Monday.

Impact Hentges needed just 20 pitches to quickly retire all seven batters he faced in Monday's blowout win. The 26-year-old lefty has fired 10.2 consecutive scoreless frames while posting a 14:1 K:BB. He lowered his season ERA to 2.51 with a 66:17 K:BB through 52 appearances. Hentges saw his first saw chance of the year Monday and likely won't see many more down the stretch.

One Guardians Pitcher Who Deserves A Lot More Credit Sam Hentges has been on the Guardians best relief pitchers over the last few weeks.

Secures win in extra innings Hentges (3-2) pitched a perfect 11th inning with one strikeout to earn the win Monday over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Hentges extended his scoreless streak to 5.2 innings over his last five appearances with the clean frame, and Amed Rosario hit a walkoff single for the win. After a rough stretch in late June and early July, Hentges appears to have gotten himself back on track. He owns a 3.55 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB in 38 innings as a middle reliever this year.

Falters again Wednesday Hentges (2-2) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks with one strikeout in 1.2 innings, taking the loss Wednesday versus the White Sox.

Impact Hentges was responsible for both runs the White Sox scored in the sixth inning, and the Guardians' offense couldn't get him off the hook. He's been scored on in seven of his last eight outings, making his strong first two months of the season a distant memory. The southpaw now has a mediocre 4.18 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB across 32.1 innings this year. Eleven of the 15 runs he's allowed this year have come in his last 7.1 frames.

Handed first loss Hentges (2-1) allowed a run on two hits and struck out one in one-third of an inning, taking the loss Friday versus the Royals.

Impact Hentges gave up a double to Vinnie Pasquantino and a walkoff single to Michael Taylor. After allowing runs in three of his first 24 appearances, Hentges has given up eight runs in his last five innings across six outings. The southpaw has seen his ERA spike from 1.44 to 3.60 during this slump, and he owns a 1.13 WHIP and 34:11 K:BB in 30 innings overall. He's added one hold, but he'll likely remain in a low-leverage role until he can get back on track.

Notches win Tuesday Hentges (2-0) picked up the win in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Twins. He allowed a run on one hit and struck out two in one inning.

Impact Hentges gave up a go-ahead solo home run to Carlos Correa in the top of the eighth inning, but the Guardians regained the lead in their half of the frame. This marked the second consecutive outing in which Hentges has given up a run, something he hadn't done all season. He's still fairly strong with a 2.33 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 31:7 K:BB in 27 innings. The southpaw's strong pitching could see him earn some high-leverage looks on a matchup basis, but he's picked up only one hold in 26 appearances.

Collects first win Hentges (1-0) walked one in a scoreless inning to earn the win Wednesday over the Twins.

Impact Hentges pitched the eighth inning, and the Guardians rallied for four runs to take the lead in the ninth. He ended up with the win after Emmanuel Clase locked down the save. Through eight appearances in June, Hentges has allowed two runs, six hits and three walks with eight strikeouts. He's posted a stellar 1.50 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 27:5 K:BB with one hold in 24 innings overall.

Clean inning Saturday Hentges struck out one in a perfect inning in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Hentges was the Guardians' most effective pitcher Saturday. He's given up runs in only three of his 21 appearances this season, and he's allowed multiple runs only once. That shakes out to a 1.64 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB with one hold in 22 innings, though he's yet to get a real taste of high-leverage assignments despite the solid overall numbers. He's also posted a 2.54 FIP, which indicates he might experience a little regression, but it's not likely to be severe.

Guardians lefty Sam Hentges has found spot for himself in improving bullpen Sam Hentges, who made 12 starts last year, has a 1.80 ERA in 19 relief appearances this year.

JUNE 13, 2022 • CLEVELAND.COM

Logs first hold Hentges walked two in one-third of a scoreless inning to earn a hold in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Orioles.

Impact Hentges has seen limited usage, making just four appearances since May 13. He's covered just 2.1 innings in those outings. The usage is puzzling, as the southpaw has been solid with a 1.10 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB across 16.1 innings in 16 appearances. Hentges is likely ticketed for low-leverage work, and it seems unlikely he'd be an option as a potential spot starter given that he hasn't logged more than three outs in an appearance since May 4.

No One Is Talking About Sam Hentges, And We Should Be Sam Hentges has turned his career around after making the shift to the bullpen.

MAY 11, 2022 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Extends scoreless streak Hentges threw a perfect inning in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the White Sox.

Impact Over his last nine outings, Hentges has through 11 shutout innings, allowing just six hits and a walk. The southpaw continues to be stingy with baserunners -- he's posted a 0.62 WHIP and a 17:1 K:BB across 13 innings this season. Hentges is still most likely to serve as a multi-inning option for now, but extended success could see him eventually be in a position to pick up the occasional hold.

MAY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Working well out of bullpen Hentges allowed two hits and struck out three in two scoreless innings in Sunday's 10-2 loss to the Yankees.

Impact This was Hentges' first appearance longer than an inning. He entered the game after Aaron Civale struggled through the first three innings. Hentges has put up a 1.42 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 9:0 K:BB through 6.1 innings to begin the season. The southpaw will likely continue to be an option for bulk relief duties, so he probably won't interest most fantasy managers unless he pitches his way into the rotation.
