Fans 10 in seven excellent innings
Leiter (10-10) earned the win Friday against the Guardians, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in seven innings. He struck out 10.
Analysis
In what was his final start of the season, Leiter went out with a bang while matching a season high in strikeouts. It was also the first time he fired seven innings since Aug. 23 against Cleveland. Leiter proved to be an effective starter during his first full year in the major leagues, though he did struggle with walks and was hit hard at times. Despite posting a superb .222 opponent batting average, Leiter managed a more modest 3.86 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 148:67 K:BB across 151.2 frames.

Hit around in 10th loss
Leiter (9-10) was charged with the loss Saturday against the Marlins, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out four.
Analysis
The eight hits allowed tied a season high for Leiter, who permitted greater than three runs for the first time since his June 17 start against the Royals. The right-hander has still emerged as a reliable member of Texas' rotation for the most part in 2025, throwing at least five innings in 19 of his 28 outings. Leiter's final appearance of the year is set to come next weekend in Cleveland, one into which he'll carry a 3.92 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 138:66 K:BB over 144.2 frames.
