Tyler Mahle Snags Fourth Victory
Tyler Mahle (4-1) yielded one earned run on four hits and a walk over 6 1/3 innings in his team's 2-1 victory against the Colorado Rockies. He struck out five while earning his fourth win of the season. The 30-year-old faced the minimum number of batters in four frames on Monday and allowed just one extra-base hit -- a Hunter Goodman double to lead off the top of the seventh. Mahle has been fantastic in 2025, sporting a 1.47 ERA and 0.96 WHIP through nine starts (49 innings). His strikeouts are up slightly from 2024 (19.3%), when he pitched just 12 2/3 innings while dealing with elbow and shoulder ailments. However, it's a far cry from the strikeout rates he posted earlier in his career. This is a different version of him than we're used to, but he's still been effective -- even if he is out-pitching his metrics by a good bit (4.10 xFIP).
