Logan

Allen

It’ll be resumed on Tuesday afternoon with the Twins holding a 2-1 lead in the top of the fourth inning. Ober allowed one run over three innings during a rain-shortened start that featured a pair of rain delays before ultimately being called off. His Cleveland counterpart, Logan Allen, was charged with two runs over three innings.

Allen gave up three hits, walked one and struck out six. The 26-year-old left-hander held down a Brewers offense that entered play Tuesday 11th in all of baseball in runs per game on the road (4.74). Allen lowered his ERA to 3.70 on the season in the process. While this start was certainly a step in the right direction, Allen is still best used in deeper formats as he’s still sporting a 31/20 K/BB ratio and 4.99 xFIP this year. He’s lined up to face the Twins on the road next week.

Allen gave up seven hits and walked four, so allowing only three runs was quite an accomplishment. Scoring all of their runs in the sixth, the Guardians ended up winning the game 8-6 even though the Nationals had more hits (13-10), more extra-base hits (4-2) and more walks (7-5). Allen remains 1-2 with a 4.33 ERA through seven starts. He’ll face the Brewers next.

Allen punched out four opposing batters while issuing a pair of walks in the contest. He allowed a pair of runs, one of them earned, in the third inning on an RBI single by Alejandro Kirk. Allen then served up a solo blast to George Springer in the fifth inning. He got nine swings and misses on 104 pitches on the night — four of them on his sweeper — while posting a CSW of 32 percent. He’ll look to improve upon his 4.02 ERA and 1.53 WHIP when he squares off against the Nationals in Washington on Wednesday.

Allen had gotten off to a strong start to the season, but came back down to earth a little bit today, which is not much of a surprise given how few bats he was missing in his earlier starts. Allen walked three on the day, while striking out two and posting a 19 percent whiff rate and 20 percent CSW. He is not a recommended streamer next week against the Blue Jays.

The 25-year-old left-hander has made four starts at Triple-A Columbus this season, posting a 3.44 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 22/7 K/BB ratio across 18 1/3 innings. He’ll likely be the 27th man for the twin bill and will head back to Triple-A after the spot start, so there’s no reason to try to add him for fantasy purposes. Ben Lively will start the first game after his start was rained out on Friday. It’s unclear if Logan Allen — who was originally scheduled to start on Saturday — will get pushed back to Sunday, or if the Guardians will shuffle their rotation.

The left-hander struck out five and walked one on the day, and seemed on his way to another win before the bullpen blew a three-run ninth inning lead. There’s nothing exceptional about what Allen is doing, but he’s pounding the strike zone with four of his five offerings and earned 20 called strikes during the game. That command-centric approach has helped him register a 2.11 ERA so far this season, but it’s tough to recommend him next weekend against the Red Sox.

He struck out six and allowed just two hits. It’s Allen’s first win since last June 20, when he improved to 8-3 in spite of a 5.23 ERA. He went on to spend most of the rest of the year in the minors, and he was expected to open up back in Triple-A this season before others faltered this spring. He has a 2.30 ERA through three starts this season, but his 11/9 K/BB in 15 2/3 innings is less impressive. He’s still not recommended in mixed leagues, though this Sunday’s start in Pittsburgh is tempting.

Allen allowed four hits and two walks while striking out four. He wasn’t able to get deep enough for a win — even while facing a team that gives up a lot of them — while throwing 52-of-83 pitches for strikes. Not bad, but not what you’re looking for from a stream against Chicago. Allen would be a risky streamer against the Orioles on Tuesday.

Allen dodged trouble early on, stranding five baserunners with the help of three ground ball double plays. But he could only get by for so long without missing any bats. Jackson Merrill took him deep for a solo shot in the fourth inning to put the Padres on the board. Two more runs would score on a walk and two hits in the fifth. Allen struck out his first batter to start the sixth and walked two more before his day was done. The 26-year-old left-hander lines up for a start against the White Sox in Cleveland next Tuesday.
