Payton Tolle holds Yankees to just one hit in win

Payton Tolle

BOS Starting Pitcher #70

Player Stats

Payton Tolle tossed seven one-hit, shutout innings with seven strikeouts and two walks to earn the win in a 6-1 triumph over the Yankees on Friday.

What a start. Tolle retired the first 16 batters he faced in order and there was that little twinge in the back of your neck that this could’ve been a really special outing. Then, a Spencer Jones flare turned into a single and this just wound up as a run-of-the-mill gem. Oftentimes leaning on his fantastic four-seamer, Tolle let that pitch take a back seat here as he featured his cutter more than usual. He also pulled out his curveball sparingly, but it forced some ugly swings when he spotted it. Aggression, precision, bravado, he had it all going in this start. Through 71 1/3 innings this season, he has 69 strikeouts, 20 walks, and a 2.78 ERA. Next up, he’s scheduled to face the Nationals at home.

Payton Tolle

BOS Starting Pitcher #70

Payton Tolle took the loss on Wednesday against the Nationals, allowing six earned runs on seven hits and three walks in three innings pitched.

The lefty struck out five. It was the shortest start of the year for Tolle, whose fastball was clocked as low as 92 mph before he departed. Washington had a clear plan as they repeatedly attacked his heater while Tolle didn’t mix in his secondaries. Wednesday also marked his first time allowing more than two free passes since April 28. It was a nightmare outing against one of the top offenses in baseball. He’ll look to get back on track next time out against the White Sox.

Payton Tolle allowed three runs on six hits in six innings in a loss to the Mariners on Sunday.

Tolle struck out two and walked two while throwing 67 percent of his pitches for strikes. He had good command of his fastballs on the day, but he struggled to get into two-strike counts, with just five total whiffs and a six percent swinging strike rate on the day. He couldn’t really command his sinker to lefties, which made it harder for him to get chases with his four-seamer, and while his four-seamer did miss some bats against righties, it was his only pitch that really did so. The rookie will look to continue to iron out the kinks in a tough start against the Yankees next week.

Payton Tolle allowed three runs on four hits in five innings in a loss to the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Tolle struck out six and walked two on the day, but two of his four hits allowed were solo home runs. The left-hander threw 69 percent of his pitches for strikes while posting an 11 percent swinging strike rate and 29 percent CSW. His typically dominant four-seamer had just a nine percent swinging strike rate against right-handed hitters on the day, but his secondary pitches were solid enough to keep this game from getting away from him. That makes this a modestly confidence-inducing start heading into a good matchup against a banged-up Mariners offense in Seattle on Sunday.

BOS Starting Pitcher #70

Payton Tolle was charged with four runs on nine hits over six innings on Tuesday in a loss to the Rays.

Tolle clearly didn’t have his best stuff in this one, but still managed to grind out six frames anyway, needing 94 pitches (71 strikes) in the process. All of the damage came against him in the fourth inning when Cedric Mullins, Ben Williamson and Nick Fortes delivered run-scoring hits. He finished with three strikeouts and only issued one walk. The 23-year-old top prospect has been excellent overall this season, delivering a strong 2.70 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 54/14 K/BB ratio across 53 1/3 innings over nine starts. He’ll square off against the Blue Jays at Fenway Park his next time out on Tuesday.

Payton Tolle earned the win in Wednesday’s 8-1 victory over the Orioles, throwing six scoreless frames while striking out five.

Tolle allowed seven hits and two walks in the outing but most importantly kept Baltimore off the scoreboard. He threw a career-high 99 pitches, lowering his ERA to 2.28 for the season. The rookie southpaw continues to impress with a fastball-heavy approach, including his new sinker. He next lines up for a road matchup in Tampa Bay.

Payton Tolle pitched decently in a no-decision against the Braves on Thursday, racking up seven strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings of two-run baseball.

The 23-year-old hurler scattered five hits on the night while issuing a pair of free passes. All of the damage done against him came in the fourth inning on a pair of RBI singles by Jorge Mateo and Dominic Smith. He piled up 18 swings and misses on 94 offerings on the night — 11 of those on his fastball — while registering a CSW of 24 percent. He’ll attempt to get back in the win column as he carries a brilliant 2.61 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and a 46/11 K/BB ratio (41 1/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Orioles.

BOS Starting Pitcher #70

Payton Tolle allowed three earned runs over six innings while striking out nine in Friday’s loss to the Twins.

After retiring all three batters he faced in the first inning, Tolle allowed five-straight batters to reach base to start the second inning, with Ryan Kriedler and Luke Keaschall driving in runs to cut the Red Sox’s lead to 4-2. After striking out Alex Jackson, Tolle would allow an RBI single to Byron Buxton to give the Twins their third and final run of the frame. Despite the rough start, Tolle would settle in to pitch five straight scoreless innings before being pulled to start the seventh. Tolle’s nine strikeouts are good for his second-highest total in any game this season, and he has now allowed three earned runs or fewer in every outing. His next start is scheduled for Thursday at home against the Braves.

BOS Starting Pitcher #70

Payton Tolle limited the Braves to two runs and four hits over eight innings for a win Saturday.

Tolle needed just 85 pitches to get 24 outs tonight, finishing with four hits allowed, one walk and three strikeouts. He gave up a 421-foot homer to Drake Baldwin and had two flyouts that projected as homers in 15 and five ballparks, according to Statcast. Still, it was a pretty impressive showing, especially because he averaged the same 96.5 mph with his fastball in the eighth that he did in the first. Tolle is 2-2 with a 2.05 ERA through five turns, and he’ll be a worthy mixed-league play next week against the Twins.

Payton Tolle wasn’t at his best during Sunday afternoon’s loss to the Rays, giving up three runs on seven hits across his five frames.

The 23-year-old southpaw struck out four batters on the day and didn’t allow a free pass. He served up a solo homer to Junior Caminero on an 0-2 pitch in the opening inning then then the Rays scratched out a pair of runs against him in the third inning. Tolle got 12 whiffs on 81 pitches on the day — seven on his fastball — while posting a CSW of 25 percent. He’ll carry a terrific 2.78 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and a 27/6 K/BB ratio (22 2/3 innings) into a tough matchup against the Braves in Atlanta on Sunday.

The Red Sox will start Payton Tolle on Sunday against the Rays after his scheduled outing Saturday was rained out.

That’s all Boston has announced so far. Brayan Bello was slated to start Sunday, but since the club has Monday off, it’s possible he could be pushed back further than Tuesday.

Josh Jung was scratched from the Rangers’ starting lineup on Sunday due to right knee soreness.

Jung was going to try to give it a go but tested his knee out on the field before the game and ultimately the decision was made to give him the afternoon off. It’s possible that he could be available in a pinch-hit situation. Ezequiel Duran will cover third base in his absence and bat cleanup against Tigers’ right-hander Casey Mize.

Dominic Canzone is not in the Mariners’ starting lineup for Sunday’s matinee against the Blue Jays.

Canzone homered and drove in three runs on Saturday night, so the timing off the off day is a bit curious, though the Mariners are likely just trying to keep him fresh. Cal Raleigh will function as the team’s designated hitter in his place while Mitch Garver draws his first start of the week behind the dish and will bat seventh for the M’s against Trey Yesavage and the Blue Jays.

Byron Buxton was removed from Sunday’s game against the Yankees after aggravating his prior hip injury.

Buxton singled in the first inning and was caught trying to steal second base, which appears to have been where he sustained the injury. Hopefully it’s just a minor issue and the Twins are being cautious here, but with Buxton’s extensive injury history you just can’t rule out the chances of him heading to the injured list. Fantasy managers should have an alternative option in place for next week in the event that the dynamic 32-year-old outfielder is forced to miss some time.

William Contreras is absent from the Brewers’ starting lineup for Sunday afternoon’s ballgame against the Rockies at Coors Field.

Since he shoulders a very heavy workload for a catcher, the Brewers are careful to mix in off days for Contreras to get him off of his feet once in a while, with Sunday afternoon games being the most common. Gary Sanchez will start in his place behind the dish and bat seventh against Diamondbacks’ southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez.
