Shines in ninth victory
Cantillo (9-7) earned the win over San Diego on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit and three walks while striking out seven batters over six innings.
Analyse
Cantillo yielded just one hit -- a single by the second batter he faced (Jake Cronenworth). The Padres were able to use that knock to manufacture a run, but Cantillo shut them down the rest of the way, allowing just two additional baserunners (both on free passes). Cantillo logged an impressive 15 whiffs on 87 pitches and finished with his first quality start and first outing of at least six innings since June 26. He's had issues with walks this season, but the left-hander has managed a 9-7 record with 139 punchouts over 125.2 innings while posting a 3.80 ERA and 1.44 WHIP through 26 starts. He's slated to next take the mound on the road in Colorado.

Rain-shortened start Sunday
Cantillo took a no-decision against the White Sox on Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks in one inning. He struck out three.
Analyse
Sunday's game was delayed for over two hours in the second inning due to inclement weather, and the Guardians chose not to send Cantillo back to the hill upon resumption. The southpaw experienced a laborious first frame, throwing 31 pitches, but he at least managed to record three punchouts before his day ended. Cantillo, who has a 3.91 ERA, a troublesome 1.48 WHIP and 132:56 K:BB over 119.2 innings, should be well-rested for his next scheduled outing against the Padres.
