July 29, 2025 3:42 AM : Valdez did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over six innings against the Nationals. He struck out 12.
Analysis: The southpaw was in command Monday, matching his season high with 12 strikeouts. Valdez has looked like a true ace in 2025, backed by a 9.5 K/9 -- his highest strikeout rate since 2020. On the year, the 31-year-old holds a 2.62 ERA and 1.11 WHIP through 21 starts spanning 134 innings.
