Griffin did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Guardians, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five across four innings.

Griffin kept the White Sox off the board until a Sam Antonacci RBI single in the fourth inning. The former was brought back out for the fifth but was quickly pulled after letting the first two batters he faced on base, one of which came home to score. Griffin ran up his pitch count to 83 (47 strikes), and it's his second consecutive outing in which he failed to complete at least five innings. In eight games since being acquired by the Guardians from the Nationals in August, Griffin has a 3-2 record with a 5.79 ERA and 1.61 WHIP across 37.1 innings. He's lined up to take on the Red Sox on the road next week in what currently projects to be his penultimate start of the regular season.

Griffin (15-5) took the loss against the Orioles on Wednesday, allowing eight runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four across 2.1 innings.

Griffin looked like he was in control of Wednesday's start after ending the second frame with back-to-back strikeouts. However, things fell apart for him in the third, when he allowed nine of the 10 batters he faced to reach, resulting in an eight-run frame that his Guardians teammates couldn't make up for offensively. It was the first time this season that the left-hander failed to complete at least three frames in a start, and the eight runs allowed were his second most of the season. He sits at a 3.65 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 162.2 innings this season, and Griffin will look to bounce back in his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against the White Sox.

Griffin didn't factor into the decision in the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Tigers, giving up three runs on eight hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out three.

The Guardians won the game in 10 innings to complete a sweep in the twin bill, but Griffin exited the mound with his team in a 3-0 hole after 92 pitches (58 strikes). Over six outings since being picked up from the Nationals at the trade deadline, the southpaw has delivered two quality starts, and after a bumpy Cleveland debut Aug. 6, Griffin has a 3.00 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB through his last 27 innings. He lines up to make his next start on the road next week in Baltimore.

Griffin didn't factor into the decision against the Royals on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out four.

After surrendering five runs in his team debut Aug. 6 against the Mets, Griffin has regained his form on the mound since then. The southpaw has thrown at least five innings while yielding two earned runs or fewer in four consecutive starts, giving up five hits or fewer each time out during that span. He'll take an excellent 3.21 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 139:39 K:BB across 154.1 innings into his next scheduled outing versus Detroit.

Griffin (15-4) earned the win Sunday against the Rockies, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings.

Griffin labored through a 47-pitch second inning that accounted for both Colorado runs, and he was fortunate to escape the frame with the bases loaded without further damage. Cleveland provided plenty of support with six runs while he was on the mound, helping Griffin secure his 15th victory, one short of the MLB lead. The left-hander has failed to complete six innings in four of his last five starts, and his ERA sits at 3.19 alongside a 1.13 WHIP and 135:38 K:BB across 149.1 innings this season. He's scheduled to face the Royals at home in his next start.
