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.
