Tagged for five during loss Littell (8-8) took the loss Friday against the Reds, allowing five runs on 10 hits over six innings. He struck out two and didn't issue a walk.

Impact Littell was hurt by the long ball in Friday's loss, giving up a solo homer to Tyler Stephenson in the second inning and a two-run shot to TJ Friedl in the sixth. The five earned runs marked the 29-year-old's highest total allowed since April 10, snapping what had been a strong stretch. Entering the outing, Littell had posted a 2.43 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 29.2 innings in his last five outings. The right-hander will aim to return to that form in his next scheduled start against the Yankees.

Opens second half with QS Littell allowed two runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out three batters over six innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Saturday.

Impact Littell fell behind early, allowing two runs in the first inning. He settled in from there, however, allowing just four more baserunners and zero runs over the remainder of his six frames. Littell was thus able to record a quality start -- his third over his past four appearances -- and was taken off the hook for a loss when the Rays battled for four runs over the seventh and eighth innings. The right-hander lowered his season ERA to 3.53, and he hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of his past six outings.

Falls short of quality start Littell (8-7) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up three runs on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings in a 7-3 victory over the Tigers. He struck out four.

Impact He was lifted after 87 pitches (56 strikes) with the Rays clinging to a 4-3 lead and Zach McKinstry having just laced his second double of the game off Littell, denying the right-hander his third straight quality start and his 13th of the season. Littell has been tagged for more than three runs only once in 13 outings since the beginning of May, delivering a 2.95 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 58:9 K:BB through 82.1 innings over that stretch while going 7-2 as he heads into the All-Star break.

Fires six strong innings Friday Littell didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Twins, giving up one run on four hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out five.

Impact Littell fanned five while allowing a lone run in his third consecutive start, tossing six strong innings Friday. The 29-year-old right-hander had previously gone four straight outings without walking a batter, but he's now issued two free passes in each of his last two appearances. Littell is now up to 12 quality starts in 2025, and he'll carry a steady 3.50 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 76:15 K:BB across 110.2 frames into a tough spot on the road against the first-place Tigers.

He'll try to stay dialed in during his next start, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Minnesota.
