Guardians’ Gavin Williams: Can’t get through opening frame

Williams (3-8) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing five runs on two hits and three walks over two-thirds of an inning. He did not record a strikeout. Williams had a start he’d like to forget on Saturday, issuing three-consecutive walks with one out in the first inning before then surrendering a ground rule double, along with a sacrifice fly and an RBI single to put Cleveland in an early hole. The right-hander would not make it through the frame and would end up being charged with a fifth after being relieved by Pedro Avila. It easily marked Williams’ shortest outing of the campaign after hurling a seven innings of one-run ball in his previous start, while it also marked his first start in which he failed to record a strikeout. Furthermore, Williams has now lost four of his last five starts, issuing multiple free passes in each of those outings.
