Fans four in no-decision
Valdez took a no-decision Sunday against the Royals, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out four.
Análisis
A fielding error by Hao-Yu Lee with two outs in opening frame put an unearned run on Valdez's line. The 32-year-old southpaw has pitched at least five innings in all but three of his 21 starts this year, so he's providing fairly consistent length in spite of the shakiness he's shown overall during his debut season with the Tigers. Valdez's 4.53 ERA and 1.38 WHIP for the campaign are his worst marks since 2019 with Houston, and he's also registered a career-worst 7.3 strikeouts per nine innings in 2026.

Clobbered by Cubs
Valdez (5-7) took the loss against the Cubs on Tuesday, giving up six runs on five hits and two walks while striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning.
Análisis
Valdez made his first start since July 9, but the extra time off didn't seem to do him any favors. The lefty hurler allowed the first seven batters he faced to reach base, and he was pulled with two outs in the first frame after forcing home a run by issuing a bases-loaded walk to Pete Crow-Armstrong. It was the second time in Valdez's career that he's been unable to get out of the first inning, and it was the third time this season that he's surrendered five or more runs in a start. Valdez's initial campaign with Detroit has been mostly a disappointment, as his 4.57 ERA is the seventh-worst mark among qualified MLB hurlers.
