The 28-year-old hurler did issue four walks on the evening while recording a pair of strikeouts. Williamson walked six batters his last time out in a no-decision against the Angels and the free passes nearly cost him a shot at a victory again on Friday. He was able to hold the Twins to just one run though on a sacrifice fly by Austin Martin in the fifth inning. Williamson threw only 50 of his 93 pitches for strikes, getting six whiffs and posting a CSW of 23 percent. He’ll try to extend his winning streak to two as he carries a 4.35 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 12/13 K/BB ratio (20 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s battle against the Rays in Tampa. Unless he can get the walks in check, fantasy managers should tread very lightly here.

Williamson was working through traffic in this one as he struggled to find the zone. He stranded two runners in each of the first two innings before loading the bases in the third. A groundout would bring a run in before Williamson escaped the jam with just the one run allowed. Two more walks in the fourth put two on for Mike Trout, who doubled to score both runners. Williamson’s day would be done after four innings at 93 pitches, only 49 for strikes. The 28-year-old left-hander will take a 5.28 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, and a 10/9 K/BB ratio into a start against the Twins in Minnesota on Friday.

Williamson wasn’t overpowering, but he limited Miami to nine hard-hit balls and needed just 93 pitches to reach the seventh inning in his second start of the year. It was a much-needed bounce-back after surrendering six runs on three homers against the Pirates in his season debut last week. He’s in line for another favorable matchup against the Angels on Sunday to finish off a two-start week.

Williamson, who is returning from Tommy John, was making his first start since 2024, and by giving up three homers to the Pirates, he accomplished something that no pitcher had done since that season. Ryan O’Hearn and Bryan Reynolds hit back-to-back homers off him in the second before Oneil Cruz chimed in with another in the fourth. Williamson was supposed to be part of some odd hybrid gig for the Reds before Nick Lodolo’s blister meant there was room for all three of him, Chase Burns and Rhett Lowder in the rotation. Instead of going back to whatver was the original plan, they should probably just send down Williamson once Lodolo returns.

Back from Tommy John, Williamson has earned a spot on Cincinnati’s roster with his 1.65 ERA this spring. It sounds like he’ll be paired with Chase Burns for now, with one or both throwing four or five innings at a time.
