Berrios allowed six runs on six hits and a walk with one strikeout in 2.1 innings, taking a no-decision versus the Angels on Sunday.

Berrios had posted quality starts in his last two games, but he had no such fortune Sunday. Shohei Ohtani took him deep in his first two at-bats, and Berrios didn't complete three innings in the back-and-forth contest. The right-hander has had his ups and downs this year with a 5.62 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB across 49.2 innings in his 10 starts. He's now given up nine homers, so he'll be hoping to keep the ball in the yard better next weekend against the Twins.

Dunning allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and three walks with five strikeouts in 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Sunday.

Dunning was a bit inefficient in this outing, but the Athletics weren't able to capitalize until the fifth inning. The right-hander also threw two wild pitches and hit a batter. The 27-year-old now has a 4.31 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 56:20 K:BB across 54.1 innings in his 10 starts this season. He's expected to face the Mariners at home next week.

Kaprielian allowed four runs on six hits and struck out two over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Sunday.

On the bright side, Kaprielian didn't walk a batter for the first time in six appearances this season. This was the third time he's allowed four or more runs, and it's his second start of less than five innings on the campaign. He's struggled to a 5.93 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB across 27.1 innings overall. The right-hander projects to start next week at home versus the Red Sox.

Gonzales (3-5) allowed two runs on five hits and a walk with two strikeouts in 7.1 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Astros.

Gonzales gave up a second-inning solo shot to Jeremy Pena. He also allowed a ground rule double to Martin Maldonado in the eighth, and Paul Sewald allowed the inherited runner to score the game-deciding run. This was Gonzales' longest start of the season and one of his best -- he's faced the Astros three times this year and turned in a quality start each time. Overall, the 30-year-old southpaw has a 3.55 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 29:17 K:BB in 50.2 innings across 10 starts. He lines up to face the Rangers on the road next weekend.

Garcia allowed a run on four hits and a walk with six strikeouts in six innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Sunday.

Garcia hadn't completed six innings in any of his last three starts, so this was an encouraging bounce-back outing after a couple of losses. The Astros' offense didn't supply enough offense to earn him a win, as the 25-year-old gave up a game-tying RBI single to Ty France in the sixth inning. It's been a solid year overall for Garcia, who owns a 3.14 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 51:15 K:BB in 48.2 innings across nine starts. He'll carry a 3-3 record into a road start in Kansas City next weekend.

Stripling retired the lone batter he faced on three pitches en route to notching his first save of the season in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Angels.

With regular closer Jordan Romano allowing a run to score and loading the bases before exiting with two outs, the Blue Jays turned to Stripling to put out the fire. The veteran right-hander was able to get the job done, as he coaxed a groundball from Andrew Velazquez to seal the Jays' one-run win and claim his fourth career save. The one-out cameo marked Stripling's first high-leverage appearance in the bullpen since he exited the rotation earlier this month following Hyun Jin Ryu's return from the injured list.

Kremer (oblique) struck out seven and gave up one hit and one walk over four scoreless innings Sunday in his rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk.

Making the third minor-league start of his rehab assignment, Kremer built up to 60 pitches (36 strikes) and breezed through the outing. Between stops at Norfolk and Double-A Bowie during the assignment, Kremer has struck out 18 and issued only two walks over nine innings. He could be available to return from the 10-day injured list to make his next start in the big leagues during the Orioles' home series with the Guardians next weekend.

Cease allowed an unearned run on two hits and four walks while striking out five over seven innings in a 5-4 win Sunday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision.

Cease was effectively wild Sunday, throwing only 63 of 108 pitches for strikes. The lone run against him came when Jake Burger misplayed a difficult ground ball with two outs in the seventh. May was a bit of a roller-coaster ride for the 26-year-old, as he allowed one or fewer runs in four starts and six or more in the other two. For the month, he amassed a 3.98 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with a 48:13 K:BB in 31.2 innings. His next start will likely be next weekend in Tampa Bay.

Greinke is being evaluated for a forearm/flexor injury following Sunday's start against the Twins, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Greinke struggled during Sunday's outing, as he allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three in four innings to take the loss. The right-hander said after the game that he felt "sore and tight" and also said that his stuff hasn't felt as sharp lately. Greinke will be examined by trainers to determine the severity of his injury, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to make his next start. If he's cleared to pitch, he tentatively lines up to start at home against the Astros on Saturday.

Greinke (0-4) took the loss, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three in four innings of a 7-3 defeat Sunday in Minnesota.

Greinke was tagged for three homers Sunday, a three-run shot by Gio Urshela in the third and back-to-back solo shots by Nick Gordon and Trevor Larnach to begin the fourth. The veteran had allowed only two home runs in his first eight starts spanning 44 innings, but he has allowed five homers over his last 7.2 innings. He's struggled mightily of late, allowing 21 runs (19 earned) in 18 innings and raising his ERA from 2.67 to 5.05 over his last four starts. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, likely next weekend against Houston.
