Kaprielian (4-3) allowed one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out 10 across seven innings, taking the loss to the Red Sox on Sunday.

Kaprielian was stellar Sunday, striking out a season-high 10 batters and tying his high-innings mark in 2021. However, he was stuck with the loss after allowing a single run to cross and receiving no run support. The 27-year-old has a 2.84 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 62 strikeouts in 57 innings. He has four quality starts in his last five outings.

Keller (6-9) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over 6.1 innings Sunday, striking out seven and taking a loss against Minnesota.

Despite the loss, it was the first time in Keller's last six starts that he allowed fewer than four runs, lowering his season ERA to 6.39. He allowed an RBI single to Trevor Larnach in the third inning and served up a solo homer to Max Kepler in the sixth. Since the start of June, Keller has yielded 30 earned runs in 36.2 innings (7.36 ERA) alongside a 28:19 K:BB. He's lined up to take the mound in Cleveland next week.

Maeda (4-3) allowed two hits and a walk over six shutout innings Sunday, striking out 10 and earning a win over Kansas City.

After Maeda allowed a pair of two-out singles in the second inning, he locked in and retired 13 straight Royals to finish off his terrific outing. It was his first double-digit strikeout game of the season and his six innings of work tied his season best. It was a promising bounce-back performance after he was shelled for seven runs in his last start. Maeda now owns a 5.03 ERA and 64:21 K:BB this season. He's projected to face the Tigers at home next.

Cole yielded four runs on six hits and three walks over 3.1 innings in a loss to the Mets in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

Cole was taken deep by Dominic Smith for a solo shot in the first inning but held the Mets to just a run through the first three frames. In the fourth, he allowed five of the first six batters to reach base before he was removed from the game with 80 pitches. It was the first time this season he didn't complete at least five innings. Over his last six starts, Cole has given up 21 runs (20 earned) over 34.1 innings, bumping his season ERA to 2.91. He's projected to take the mound in Houston next week.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
