Urias (20-3) got the win in Saturday's 8-3 victory over Milwaukee, allowing one run on one hit and two walks with seven strikeouts in 6.1 innings.

Urias permitted one run in the first inning but calmed down thereafter to hold the Brewers scoreless the rest of the way and bring Los Angeles to within one game of San Francisco in the NL West. The 25-year-old earned his MLB-leading 20th win to follow up a strong 2020 postseason and concludes the campaign with a 2.96 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 195:38 K:BB in 185.2 innings.

Gallen (4-10) allowed two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six across six innings, earning the win over the Rockies on Saturday.

Both of Gallen's runs allowed came on solo home runs by Sam Hilliard and Dom Nunez. It was the first time this season he earned the win in back-to-back appearances. The 25-year-old made multiple trips to the injured list and took a step back when on the field, finishing the season with a 4.30 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with 139 strikeouts in 121.1 innings.

Senzatela (4-10) allowed six earned runs on six hits and two walks across two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Senzatela struggled immensely to begin the game, allowing eight runners to reach safely -- including three doubles -- before being pulled with two outs in the first inning. After firing at least six innings in each of his prior nine starts, he failed to get through the first frame in what was ultimately his shortest outing of the season. The 26-year-old ends the year with a 4.42 ERA and 1.34 WHIP with 105 strikeouts in 156.2 innings.

Mahle allowed six runs on eight hits and two walks with six strikeouts over 4.1 innings, taking a no-decision in Saturday's 8-6 loss to the Pirates.

Mahle's breakout season ended on a sour note Saturday, as the 27-year-old coughed up six earned runs to the lowly Pirates. Still, 2021 has been a raging success for the right-hander. Mahle went from a 3-12 record with a 5.14 ERA in his last full season (2019) to an 13-6 mark and 3.75 ERA this season. He is arbitration eligible this winter, but provided all of that goes well, Mahle figures to be a central piece of the Reds' rotation as they eye up a return to the postseason in 2022.

Luzardo (6-9) yielded one run on six hits with 11 strikeouts over 5.1 innings to earn the win Saturday against Philadelphia.

The 24-year-old enjoyed the first double-digit strikeout performance of his career, limiting the Phillies to a Matt Vierling RBI single in the fifth inning. Luzardo had a rocky 2021 campaign, putting up a 6.61 ERA and 58:32 K:BB in 57.1 innings, but his season-ending effort showcased the high-end ability that has made him one of the game's top pitching prospects.

Gausman allowed one run on six hits and one walk over seven innings Saturday in a no-decision against San Diego. He reorded five strikeouts.

The right-hander put together his second straight quality start, holding the Padres to a Manny Machado RBI single in the sixth inning. Gausman will go into the postseason having allowed just two runs in 13 innings over his last two starts while striking out 16 against just one walk.

Musgrove limited the Giants to one run on three hits with four strikeouts over five innings Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.

After a wobbly September (5.14 ERA in five starts), Musgrove closed out his 2021 season with a terrific showing by limiting San Francisco to a Kris Bryant RBI single in the second inning. He also put up a zero in the walk column for the first time since May 30. Musgrove went 11-9 in his first season in San Diego and established personal bests in ERA (3.18), innings pitched (181.1), strikeouts (203), WHIP (1.08) and opponents' batting average (.213). He also threw a pair of shutouts, the first of his career.

Peralta will not pitch in Sunday's season finale against the Dodgers, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Peralta has not taken the mound since Sept. 26, when he tossed 5.1 innings against the Mets. Instead, the team will focus on getting him ready for the postseason, so he'll conclude the regular season with a 2.81 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with 195 strikeouts across 144.1 frames. The Brewers have not announced Sunday's starter, though manager Craig Counsell also ruled out Brandon Woodruff from consideration.

Urias' workload in his start Saturday against the Brewers will be dependent on the outcome of the Giants-Padres game, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

San Francisco currently has a two-game lead in the National League West, so if they win Saturday the Dodgers will be eliminated from contention to win the division. In turn, Urias would likely be pulled early in favor of letting the bullpen work the bulk of the contest.

Megill was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

Megill has had some inconsistent outings of late, as he's turned in a 5.68 ERA and 1.42 WHIP across his last four starts and 19 innings. However, he'll end his rookie campaign on a solid note after throwing five scoreless innings to earn the win Friday against Atlanta. Overall, Megill managed a 4.52 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with a 99:27 K:BB across 89.2 frames on the season. Robert Gsellman was activated from the injured list in the corresponding move.
