Williams gave up three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out four over six innings in Tuesday's loss against the Mets. Despite exiting the game with a three- run deficit, Williams did not factor into the decision thanks to an eighth-inning rally by the Phillies' offense. He surrendered all three runs in the bottom of the third inning, but otherwise held the Mets scoreless. Philadelphia will be back home for Williams' next start against Colorado on Sunday.

Williams (3-4) gave up five runs on eight hits and three walks without recording any strikeouts in Thursday's road loss to Colorado. He also hit a batter for good measure. Truly, Williams got off lucky only by allowing five runs after he put 12 men on base in this one. He had a good nine-start run with the Phillies last year, but Williams has never been a very good pitcher, and if the Phillies' pitching prospects can force their way up to the majors, he's sure to be one of the rotation members who gets displaced. In the meantime, he'll line up for Tuesday's start against the Mets.

Williams won his third game of the season Saturday, allowing three runs (two earned) on seven hits over five innings, striking out four. He isn't lasting particularly deep into games, and his 5.02 ERA isn't at all enticing, but Williams is still picking up wins thanks to timely Phillies hitting. His next start on Thursday comes on the road in Denver, however, so even if you've picked him up in a deep league you'll likely want to get him onto your bench and off your active roster.

Williams struck out four and walked two while holding the Pirates to three runs on four hits over five innings in a losing effort Monday. The Phillies will continue to roll out Williams as their fifth starter for now, but his season ERA sits at 5.21 and his nine-start stretch with the Phillies last season (2.83 ERA, 1.13 WHIP) continues to look like an aberration. Williams' next start will come at home Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

Williams lasted only 4.1 innings, giving up six runs on eight hits to go with three strikeouts Wednesday against the Braves. Williams (2-2) was lifted with one out in the fifth and allowed a season-high six runs Wednesday. Down 2-1 going into the fifth, Williams gave up two singles, a sac fly, then two more singles before Jake Diekman took over. Williams will look to bounce back in his next scheduled start Monday against Pittsburgh.

Williams allowed three runs on seven hits over five innings Friday against the Marlins. He struck out two and walked two. Williams is 2-1 with a 4.08 ERA and a 17:7 K:BB ratio in 28.2 innings. He will face the Braves in his next start.

Williams picked up his second consecutive win on Sunday against the Braves, allowing three earned runs on eight hits and two walks over 6.2 innings. Sunday's outing was Williams' third quality start in four appearances thus far and he is now 2-1 with a respectable 3.80 ERA on the season. Williams doesn't miss many bats and shouldn't be expected to rack up the wins on a poor Phillies ball-club, but is in the midst of a decent start to the year and will look to keep it going versus the Marlins on Friday.

Williams notched his first win of the season Tuesday, allowing three runs (two earned) over six strong innings against the Marlins. The veteran yielded eight hits and one walk with six strikeouts in the outing, turning out his second quality start in three trips to the mound. Williams was solid down the stretch for the Phillies last season and has carried that success into the early part of 2015. He'll head into Sunday's start at home against the Braves with a 3.71 ERA over 17 innings pitched.

Williams lasted just five innings Wednesday against the Mets, allowing five runs (four earned) on 10 hits and a walk while striking out one. Williams turned in a surprisingly good start in his first outing of the year against Washington, but this time he looked more like his old self than the surprisingly good Williams who made nine starts for the Phillies last year.
