  • White Sox's Lucas Giolito: Hit hard in loss

    Giolito (6-6) took the loss Sunday versus Detroit. He allowed six runs on 10 hits and a walk with five strikeouts in five innings.

    The 10 hits were a season high for the right-hander, while the six runs were the second-highest total he's allowed this year. Sunday was also Giolito's shortest outing since May 9. The 26-year-old has a 4.20 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 116:31 K:BB across 98.2 innings this year. He'll look to limit the damage in his next start, which lines up as a favorable road matchup in Baltimore next weekend.

  • Matt Manning SP | PHI

    Tigers' Matt Manning: Labors through 2.2 innings

    Manning allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk in 2.2 innings versus the White Sox on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.

    The right-hander needed 60 pitches (38 strikes) to get through the appearance, which was the shortest of his four starts so far. Both runs allowed came in the third inning. Manning now has a 7.94 ERA through 17 innings, although that ratio is inflated by a nine-run shellacking by Cleveland in his previous start. He's added a 1.76 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB, both of which are discouraging marks for the 23-year-old. He lines up for an easier matchup versus Minnesota in next weekend's four-game series.

  • Tarik Skubal SP | LAD

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Gives up five runs Saturday

    Skubal (5-7) earned the win Saturday against the White Sox despite allowing five runs on eight hits and a walk while fanning six across five innings.

    Skubal left the game before the beginning of the sixth after tossing 94 pitches (65 strikes). While his numbers were not impressive, the offense backed him up enough to give him his fifth win of the campaign. This outing ended a streak of eight appearances in which Skubal allowed three or fewer runs, and he logged four quality starts in that stretch. His ERA stands at 4.35 for the season. He's scheduled to pitch again next week on the road against Minnesota.

  • Dallas Keuchel SP | MIL

    White Sox's Dallas Keuchel: Roughed up by Detroit

    Keuchel (6-3) allowed seven runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two over four-plus innings to take the loss against Detroit on Saturday.

    Keuchel navigated the first turn through the order without much noise before the Tigers jumped on him for crooked numbers in the fourth and fifth innings. This continues a gruesome three-outing stretch for the left-hander, who has a 9.26 ERA over his last 11.2 innings. He'll look to reverse the trend in his next start, tentatively scheduled for Friday at Baltimore.

  • Astros' Jake Odorizzi: Solid effort in win

    Odorizzi (3-3) picked up the win in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Cleveland, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks over six-plus innings. He struck out two.

    The veteran right-hander wasn't dominant but he got the job done, tossing 55 of 91 pitches for strikes en route to his first quality start of the season. A late signing and shortened spring training contributed to Odorizzi's rough April, but since the beginning of June the 31-year-old has a 2.25 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB through 28 innings.

  • Alex Cobb SP | DET

    Angels' Alex Cobb: Fans six in win

    Cobb (6-3) allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out six across 7.2 innings, earning the win over the Orioles on Saturday.

    Cobb's only run allowed came in the third inning where Domingo Leyba scored on a fielder's choice. He threw 112 pitches through 7.2 innings in his longest outing of the season. The 33-year-old has been inconsistent of late, giving up just one earned run in three of his past six starts while yielding a total of 16 earned runs across the other three. He has a 4.60 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP with a team-leading six wins overall.

  • Marco Gonzales RP | TEX

    Mariners' Marco Gonzales: Hit hard in short outing

    Gonzales (1-5) lost Saturday's 7-3 matchup with Texas, allowing seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts in 3.1 innings.

    Gonzales cruised through the first two frames before allowing all seven runs in the third and fourth on three home runs and a double. The blow-up appearance was his first in his last seven turns where he allowed more than four runs, and it raised his ERA to 5.82.

  • Jordan Lyles RP | KC

    Rangers' Jordan Lyles: Quality start, consecutive wins

    Lyles (4-5) won Saturday's 7-3 game against Seattle, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks with six strikeouts in six innings.

    Lyles has been on a tear of late with three straight quality starts, tossing a total of 19 innings while surrendering five runs. His only trouble inning Saturday was the third, when he walked in a run with none out but was able to retire the next three batters to limit the damage to the single run. The start lowered Lyles' ERA to 4.98, the lowest it's been since April.

  • Cole Irvin RP | LAD

    Athletics' Cole Irvin: Settles for no-decision Saturday

    Irvin tossed seven innings against Boston on Saturday, allowing four runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out five. He did not factor in the decision.

    The southpaw made it through three innings without allowing Boston to get on the scoreboard. He was let down by his defense in the fourth, when a pair of errors led to two Red Sox runs. Irvin gave up another pair of runs the rest of the way and looked to be in line for his eighth loss before an Oakland rally in the eighth inning took him off the hook. He isn't striking out many batters on the season -- Saturday's start marked the 10th time in his past 11 outings in which he has notched five or fewer strikeouts -- but Irvin has nonetheless been able to navigate to a respectable 3.56 ERA overall. His next start is tentatively scheduled to take place at Texas on Friday.

  • Rays' Shane McClanahan: Falls to Blue Jays

    McClanahan (3-3) took the loss against Toronto on Saturday, giving up three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks in 5.1 innings while striking out five.

    The only run McClanahan allowed while actually in the game was a solo home run by George Springer in the second inning. He departed in the sixth with a pair of runners on base, both of which came around to score after reliever Matt Wisler entered the game. The 24-year-old McClanahan has shown well as a rookie, logging a 66:18 K:BB in 56 innings overall while limiting opponents to three runs or fewer in each of his last five starts. He's scheduled for a return matchup against the high-powered Blue Jays next week.
