Records fourth victory Littell (4-5) earned the win over Minnesota on Monday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks while striking out four batters over 6.1 innings.
Impact Littell cruised through six scoreless frames, giving up just three hits -- all singles -- during that span. He was lifted after hitting Ty France with a pitch with one out in the seventh despite being at only 72 pitches, and Littell was charged with a run when Carlos Correa brought France home on a two-run long ball off reliever Garrett Cleavinger. Nonetheless, Littell finished with his seventh quality start of the campaign, which is tied for 11th-most in the majors. A few clunkers early in the campaign have kept his ERA at a modest 3.97, but Littell hasn't given up more than three runs in an outing over his past eight starts and has a 2.96 ERA during that span. His next start is projected to be a road matchup against Houston this weekend.

Fans six in no-decision Littell came away with a no-decision against the Astros on Tuesday, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out six over five innings. He did not issue a walk.
Impact Littell scattered his two runs in the second and third inning and wasn't brought out for the sixth after tossing 103 pitches (63 strikes) while generating 10 whiffs. He has yielded three earned runs or less in each of his last seven starts, which has brought his ERA down to 4.25 across 59.1 innings. Littell has earned the win in three of his last five outings after losing his first five starts of the season. He'll go for win number four in his next start, tentatively slated for next week at home against Minnesota.

Earns third win Littell (3-5) allowed three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two over 7.1 innings to earn the win Thursday over the Blue Jays.
Impact Littell's longest start of the year was his fifth quality start in six outings, though there were some flaws. All three runs he allowed came via solo home runs, making this the fourth time in nine outings he's allowed multiple homers. Still, he continues to be effective at limiting damage, as this was the seventh time he's walked no more than one batter. The right-hander is now at a 4.31 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB over 54.1 innings this season, despite allowing 13 homers so far. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Astros.

Delivers another quality start Littell came away with a no-decision in Friday's 4-3 win over the Brewers, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.
Impact The right-hander needed 90 pitches (65 strikes) to record his fourth quality start in his last five trips to the mound. After a bumpy beginning to the campaign, Littell has found a groove, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB in 30 innings over that five-start stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Toronto.

Hangs on for win Saturday Littell (2-5) picked up the win in Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Yankees, allowing two runs on three hits over seven innings. He struck out three without walking a batter.
Impact It looked like the right-hander was headed for another tough-luck loss when he exited the mound with the Rays down 2-1, but a two-run rally in the top of the eighth flipped the script. Littell has produced four quality starts in seven trips to the mound, but this was the first one in which he came away with the win. Keeping the ball in the park remains an issue, however -- both runs he gave up came on solo shots, and he's served up 10 homers in 41 innings. He'll carry a 4.61 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Brewers.

Picks up first win of 2025 Littell (1-5) got the win over the Padres on Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out a batter in five innings.
Impact Littell limited the Padres to a lot of soft contact and did not allow an extra-base hit. He's now allowed three runs or fewer in three straight starts and Sunday was the first time since his season debut that he did not give up a home run. Littell lowered his ERA to a 5.03 and will look to make it two wins in a row when he faces the Yankees on the road over the weekend.
