Command issues in no-decision
Williamson did not factor into the decision in the Reds' 7-3 win over the Angels on Saturday. He allowed three runs on three hits and six walks while striking out three across four innings.
Analyse
Williamson struggled with his control during Saturday's start. He allowed at least two baserunners in each of the four innings he pitched, which ran up his pitch count to 93 with only 49 strikes and nine whiffs. This performance was reminiscent of Williamson's season debut against the Pirates on March 31 during which he surrendered six runs, but the left-hander did notch a quality start versus the Marlins on April 6. Even with the command concerns, he could remain in the rotation until Nick Lodolo (finger) is activated from the 15-day injured list. Williamson is tentatively projected to start next week on the road against the Twins.

Dominates Miami during win
Williamson (1-1) earned the win Monday against the Marlins, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out four over 6.2 scoreless innings.
Analyse
Williamson turned in a strong bounce-back performance, keeping Miami hitless into the fourth inning and consistently getting ahead in counts. It was a massive leap forward from his season debut, where the left-hander was hit hard for six runs (including three homers) over 4.2 innings. Williamson came within one out of reaching a career-high in innings pitched, underscoring just how efficient he was on the mound Monday. The 28-year-old will look to carry this momentum into his next scheduled start against the Angels, and outings like this should strengthen his case for a permanent spot in the rotation.
