Athletics' JP Sears: Second straight scoreless outing
Sears (7-7) allowed three hits and two walks while striking out six over six scoreless innings to earn the win over the Giants on Friday.
Sears has covered 11.2 scoreless innings while allowing five hits and five walks over his last two starts. He kept the Giants' offense under control Friday, and it appears the southpaw is turning a corner after mostly mixed results in May and June. He's now at a 4.76 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 73:24 K:BB through 92.2 innings over 18 starts this season. His next start is projected to be at home versus Atlanta.

Athletics' JP Sears: Blanks former club in sixth win
Sears (6-7) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two hits and three walks over 5.2 innings in a 7-0 victory over the Yankees. He struck out four.
Facing the team that traded him west back in 2022 as part of the Frankie Montas deal, Sears tossed 48 of 90 pitches for strikes, as he fell one out shy of his first quality start since May 4. Saturday's performance was a much-needed turnaround after he'd gone 1-5 with a 7.90 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 31:13 K:BB over his prior nine outings and 41 innings, but it may have come too late to save Sears' spot in the A's rotation -- in each of his last two trips to the mound, top prospect Jack Perkins has dazzled in long relief, and the duo may switch roles in the near future. Sears currently lines up to make his next start at home next weekend against the Giants.

Athletics' JP Sears: Suffers seventh loss
Sears (5-7) took the loss in Sunday's game against Cleveland. He allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings with five strikeouts.
The 29-year-old southpaw generated a solid 13 whiffs in this 92-pitch outing, as he bounced back after getting shelled by Houston in his last appearance. Sears managed to post his sixth start of the season without conceding a homer out of 16 total games started. Through 81 frames, Sears now sports a 5.44 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 63:19 K:BB while allowing 18 long balls. He currently lines up to make his next start versus his former club, the Yankees, on the road next weekend.

Athletics' JP Sears: Falters against Astros
Sears (5-6) allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while failing to record a strikeout over 3.1 innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Astros.
Sears struggled early and allowed two runs in the first inning. He then gave up three solo home runs, two to Cam Smith and one to Mauricio Dubon, prior to his exit. The long ball has become an issue of late -- this marked the fourth time in his last six starts that he allowed multiple homers. His ERA is up to 5.45 with a 1.30 WHIP and 58:17 K:BB across 76 innings over 15 starts this season. The southpaw's next outing is tentatively projected to be this weekend at home versus the Guardians.

Athletics' JP Sears: Strikes out nine in no-decision
Sears allowed two runs on four hits over 5.1 innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the Angels. He struck out nine.
Sears was dominant early, allowing just two singles through five scoreless frames. However, he'd give up back-to-back base hits to start the sixth, both of whom would come around to score after the A's turned to the bullpen. After going six or more innings in three of his first four starts this season, Sears has gone seven outings without recording a quality start. Overall, the left-hander has a 5-5 record with a 5.08 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 58:14 K:BB across 14 starts (72.2 innings) this season. Sears is currently lined up to face the Astros at home in his next outing.

Athletics' JP Sears: Evens record at 5-5
Sears (5-5) allowed four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings to earn the win over the Orioles on Friday.
Sears wasn't at his best, yielding two home runs in this outing, continuing a recent trend of trouble with the long ball. He's allowed nine homers over his last four starts. He's also failed to record more than four strikeouts in six straight outings, but the Athletics gave him enough support Friday to let the left-hander pick up his first win since April 28 versus the Rangers. Sears is now at a 5.21 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 49:14 K:BB through 67.1 innings over 13 starts. The 29-year-old is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Angels.

Athletics' JP Sears: Rebounds against Blue Jays
Sears did not factor in the decision during Sunday's loss to Toronto. He allowed two runs on seven hits while striking out three over five frames.
Sears threw four shutout frames before the Blue Jays plated a pair of runs in the fifth inning. He was in line for his first win since April 28 before Toronto exploded with a six-run eighth inning. Sears gave up 15 runs in his previous two outings and posted an 8.37 ERA across five May appearances. He dropped his ERA to 5.05 with a 46:11 K:BB through 62.1 innings. Sears' next outing is expected to be a home matchup against the Orioles.

Athletics' JP Sears: Struggles mightily in fifth loss
Sears (4-5) took the loss Tuesday, allowing nine runs on 10 hits and one walk over 3.1 innings in an 11-1 loss to the Astros. He struck out one.
Sears was ambushed by the Astros, surrendering three home runs and failing to make it out of the fourth inning. The left-hander was off to a promising start through his first eight outings, posting a 2.80 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 45 innings. However, across his past three starts, the 29-year-old owns a 13.86 ERA and 2.27 WHIP in 12.1 innings. With his season numbers now up to a 5.18 ERA and 1.27 WHIP, Sears has been part of the problem for an Athletics rotation that ranks 27th in MLB with a 5.00 team ERA.

Athletics' JP Sears: Surrenders six runs Wednesday
Sears (4-4) took the loss against the Angels on Wednesday, allowing six runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
Sears came into contest having served up a modest six homers over nine starts, but the Angels tagged him for four long balls Wednesday, including two off the bat of catcher Logan O'Hoppe. After yielding three or fewer runs in each of his first eight outings of the campaign, Sears has hit a rough spot in his past two starts, surrendering 10 runs across nine innings. That's pushed his season ERA up over a run (from 2.80 to 4.00) and resulted in consecutive losses for the first time this year. The lefty will try to right the ship his next time out, which lines up to be a road matchup against Houston.

Athletics' JP Sears: Tagged for grand slam in loss
Sears (4-3) allowed four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two over four innings to take the loss Friday versus the Giants.
Sears was fine through two innings, but he ran into trouble in the third. Wilmer Flores took him deep for a grand slam in that frame to finish a 10-pitch at-bat. The four runs allowed were a season high for Sears, and he's given up six homers over nine starts. The southpaw still has a respectable 3.31 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 38:10 K:BB across 49 innings despite this inefficient start. He's projected for a home start versus the Angels his next time out.

Athletics' JP Sears: Sharp in no-decision
Sears didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Yankees, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.
The southpaw did serve up a solo shot to Aaron Judge in the fourth inning but otherwise held a potent New York lineup in check, tossing 50 of 82 pitches for strikes before exiting. Sears has given up two runs or fewer in five straight starts, and through 45 innings on the season he sports a 2.80 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in San Francisco.

Athletics' JP Sears: Solid in no-decision
Sears did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Marlins, allowing two runs on four hits over 6.1 innings. He struck out two.
Sears has held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his last four starts -- he's gone 3-0 with a 1.95 ERA in that span (23 innings). Overall, the 29-year-old left-hander sports a 2.93 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP and an impressive 32:6 K:BB across seven starts (40 innings) to open the year. Sears will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week against the Yankees.

Staked to an early 5-0 lead, Sears hurled five solid innings but did struggle a bit with hard contact. The left-hander allowed a pair of doubles Wednesday and a solo home run to Wyatt Langford in the fourth frame, throwing a season-low 86 pitches as well. Sears still hasn't given up greater than three runs in any of his first five starts of 2025, and he'll carry 3.21 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB over 28 innings into his next scheduled outing against these same Rangers, this time in Texas.
