Williams (1-1) allowed two hits and three walks while striking out 10 over seven scoreless innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Williams looks to have corrected the mechanical issue that led to him walking six batters in his season debut versus the Mariners. The right-hander was excellent in this contest, though he's unlikely to ever be an elite control pitcher. That didn't get in his way in 2025, and he's now given up a modest three runs over 12 innings while posting a 17:9 K:BB through his first two starts of 2026. Williams is projected to make his next start at home versus the Royals next week.
