• Indians' Zach Plesac: Burned by homer

  09/30/2021 •

  Plesac allowed five earned runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two across six innings Wednesday against the Royals. He did not factor into the decision. Plesac allowed a three-run home run to Salvador Perez in the opening inning before recording an out, which went a long way to sinking his final start of the season. He allowed two additional runs in the following frame, but he settled down to complete at least six innings for the third time in his last four outings. Plesac will close the campaign with a 4.67 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with 100 strikeouts across 142.2 innings. Though he's shown consistently strong control, Plesac has allowed 1.4 HR/9 across 313.2 career frames and also has an unremarkable 19.2 percent career strikeout rate.

• Indians' Zach Plesac: Takes sixth loss

  09/18/2021 •

  Plesac (10-6) took the loss Friday versus the Yankees. He allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk with six strikeouts in six innings. While Cleveland at least put seven runners on base in the contest, the offense didn't provide Plesac with much support after giving him no hits in his last start. The 26-year-old wasn't very sharp Friday either, allowing home runs to Joey Gallo and Aaron Judge before running into more trouble in the seventh inning. Through 131.1 innings this year, Plesac has a 4.59 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 94:30 K:BB. He lines up for a home start versus Kansas City next week.

  Plesac (10-5) allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts in six innings, taking the loss versus Milwaukee on Saturday. For the third time this season, Cleveland's offense mustered zero hits in one of Plesac's starts. To the 26-year-old's credit, he rebounded after a tough first two innings to earn a quality start despite the loss. The right-hander has a 4.45 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 88:29 K:BB through 125.1 innings this season. He's limited opponents to three or fewer runs in each of his last four starts. Plesac is projected to make his next start on the road against the Yankees next weekend.

  Plesac (10-4) allowed three runs on eight hits and three walks with five strikeouts in five innings to earn the win Sunday versus Boston.

Cleveland was able to hold onto its lead, giving Plesac his 10th win of the year in his 21st start. He's been solid across 119.1 innings, posting a 4.53 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 85:27 K:BB this season. With Cleveland at least temporarily shifting to a six-man rotation, Plesac's next start is currently projected for Saturday at home versus Milwaukee.
