Kaprielian (3-6) allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out six in five innings, taking the loss versus the Angels on Tuesday.

Kaprielian was no match for Shohei Ohtani, who pitched six scoreless innings. Kaprielian's biggest mistake was a three-run home run to Taylor Ward in the fifth inning. The four runs allowed were the most the 28-year-old right-hander's given up since June 15, and this was his first loss since June 21. For the season, he has a 4.38 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 63:39 K:BB through 90.1 innings across 18 starts. He's tentatively projected for a road start versus the Rangers in his next outing.

Lynn (2-5) was charged with the loss in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals after allowing four runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and a walk over six innings.

He surrendered only two runs through his first five frames, but a two-run home run from Nick Pratto during the sixth inning soured Lynn's outing. The veteran right-hander allowed 14 runs in his final two starts before the All-Star break, but in four outings since he has a 3.43 ERA and 27:2 K:BB across 23.2 frames. Lynn lines up to finish the week with a start versus the Tigers on Sunday.

Hill did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over four innings against Atlanta. He did not record a strikeout.

Austin Riley got to Hill for an RBI triple to score Ronald Acuna in the first inning. Atlanta then tagged hill for three more runs in the third inning before manager Alex Cora pulled him from the game. Hill has now gone three straight games allowing three or more runs while failing to reach five innings and holds a 4.75 ERA on the season. He next lines up to face the Yankees this weekend.

Singer (5-4) earned the win in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox. He allowed one run on five hits with six strikeouts and zero walks in 7.1 innings.

The right-hander generated only seven whiffs but threw 71 of 99 pitches for strikes, and the only blemish against him was a solo shot off the bat of Josh Harrison. Singer has covered at least six frames in each of his past six starts, and he has a 2.29 ERA and 42:9 K:BB across 39.1 innings during that span. He tentatively lines up for a tough matchup with the Dodgers on Sunday.

Manoah did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings in a 6-5 loss to the Orioles. He struck out five.

Toronto's ace got off to a rocky start, surrendering two runs in the first inning and proceeding to allow one more run to score in the third. While he was unable to record the quality start, Manoah was able to get through five innings for the 22nd time this season despite not being at his best. He'll look to get the better of the Orioles in his next scheduled start next week.

Bradish did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out four.

The Orioles' rookie was effective through five innings, with the only blemish being a solo home run off the bat of Bo Bichette, but Bradish got himself into trouble in the sixth. A couple of singles and errors helped two Toronto runners scores, chasing him from the game. While his 6.42 ERA on the surface looks scary, Bradish owned a respectable 3.88 xFIP coming into Tuesday's matchup and dominated Triple-A to the tune of a 1.83 ERA over four games this season, so he is still worth a stash in deeper and keeper leagues in case he turns things around.

Urquidy (11-4) recorded the victory Tuesday over Texas despite allowing five runs on five hits, two walks and two hit batsmen while striking out three in five innings.

Urquidy allowed three home runs but left the game with a 6-5 lead and picked up the victory. Marcus Semien, Corey Seager and Adolis Garcia all took the lefty deep. The poor showing ended a run of nine straight quality starts for Urquidy. He is 6-1 with a 2.82 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 50:14 K:BB in 64 innings across his last 10 starts, including Tuesday. His next start will likely be early next week in Chicago against the White Sox.

Perez (9-3) took the loss Tuesday in Houston, allowing seven runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two in five innings.

Perez retired the Astros in order over the first three innings but struggled to record outs after that. In the fourth, he lost control and walked three batters before giving up a two-out grand slam to Aledmys Diaz. Houston tacked on two more runs in the fifth and, after giving up a single and a double to start the sixth, Perez was removed. The poor outing snapped a run of four consecutive starts where the lefty allowed only one earned run each time.

Martin (2-3) was optioned to Triple-A Charlotte after earning the win in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals. He allowed one run on three hits with three strikeouts and one walk across 5.2 innings.

The 25-year-old was called up as the 27th man for the twin bill and started the nightcap, and the only run he gave up came via a solo homer from Vinnie Pasquantino. Martin has a 4.25 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB across 36 innings this season and should remain in the mix for a promotion down the stretch whenever Chicago requires pitching depth.

Bieber (7-6) earned the win after he pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing four hits and walking one while striking out eight against the Tigers.

Bieber was electric Tuesday, limiting the Tigers to just five baserunners while striking out eight batters for the third game in a row. The right-hander has now registered three straight quality starts after a six-run blowup versus the White Sox on July 24, allowing three runs while punching out 24 over his last 20 innings. He tentatively lines up to pitch again Sunday versus the Blue Jays.
