Cueto (6-3) hurled seven scoreless innings against Oakland on Friday, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out six to take the win.

The right-hander held the Athletics to one extra-base hit (a double) and zero runs. He did so primarily by pitching to contact, as Oakland logged a modest 10 swinging strikes against him. Cueto's quality start was his second in as many games and fourth overall this season. He has yet to strike out more than seven batters in an outing but has managed a respectable 3.63 ERA and 6-3 record. Cueto's next start is tentatively scheduled to come at Arizona on Thursday.

Peterson allowed a run on three hits and two walks over six innings in a loss to the Phillies in the second game of Friday's doubleheader. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.

Peterson cruised through five innings of scoreless baseball before serving up a solo shot to Bryce Harper in the sixth. It was his third straight outing giving up fewer than two runs, lowering his season ERA to 4.95 through 63.2 innings. He'll carry a 67:28 K:BB into next week's projected start in Atlanta.

Kim allowed four runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out one across 4.1 innings versus Pittsburgh on Friday. He did not factor in the decision.

The southpaw failed to make it through five innings for the third time in his past four outings and tied a season-worst mark by allowing four runs. He struck out only one batter and induced just three swinging strikes among his 70 pitches. Kim hasn't notched a win since his second appearance of the season April 23, going 0-5 in 10 appearances since then. His performances haven't been terrible -- Kim still owns a decent 3.98 ERA on the season -- but his inability to go deep into games has certainly hurt his overall numbers. He's slated to make his next start at home against Arizona next week.

Burnes allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings in Friday's win over the Rockies. He didn't factor into the decision.

Burnes began Friday's contest by tossing five scoreless innings, but he gave up three singles in the sixth inning and allowed a run to come across. The Brewers didn't get on the board until the bottom of the seventh inning, so the right-hander was forced to settle for his fourth no-decision in his last five starts. He had given up eight runs (seven earned) in 9.1 innings across his last two appearances, but he was able to bounce back Friday. Burnes tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Cubs on Wednesday.

Lopez (4-4) earned the win Friday against the Nationals after tossing six innings of two-run ball, giving up six hits and a walk while fanning nine.

The right-hander has three wins and three quality starts over his last four appearances. The nine strikeouts also tied Lopez's season-high mark, and he has recorded seven or more strikeouts in four of his last five games as well. He's slated to take the ball on the road against the Phillies next week.

Gray allowed five hits and no walks while striking out 10 in five innings during Friday's loss to the Brewers. He didn't factor into the decision.

Gray returned to the mound after he missed the last three weeks with a right elbow strain, and he was dominant Friday while throwing 83 pitches. He racked up double-digit strikeouts for the 15th time in his career, which tied Pedro Astacio for the most appearances with double-digit strikeouts in franchise history. The right-hander hasn't earned a win since May 5, and his performance Friday was his first scoreless appearance of the season. Gray tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Pirates on Wednesday.

Lugo (1-0) gave up no hits and a walk while striking out three in a scoreless eighth inning to earn the win over the Phillies in the first game of Friday's doubleheader.

Lugo gave up his first runs since his season debut during his last appearance, but he put up another scoreless outing to earn his first win of the year in Friday's matinee. He's held the opposition scoreless in eight of his first 10 games since he returned from the injured list, and he's posted a 2.61 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 10.1 innings. The right-hander has served mainly as a setup man for closer Edwin Diaz.

Walker allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out five in five innings during a win over the Phillies in the first game of Friday's doubleheader. He didn't factor into the decision.

Walker gave up 10 hits in his last start, but he was much more effective Friday. However, the Mets didn't get on the board until the seventh inning, which forced him to settle for a no-decision. In his six starts since he returned from the injured list, he's posted a 2.80 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 35.1 innings. Walker tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Atlanta on Wednesday.

Suarez (3-2) allowed an unearned run on a hit and a walk in a third of an inning to take the loss against the Mets in the first game of Friday's doubleheader.

Suarez was brought on to begin the eighth inning of Friday's matinee, so he began his outing with a runner on second base. He issued an intentional walk to lead off the inning but gave up a walkoff single to the next batter he faced. The southpaw has now been charged with losses in two of his last four appearances, but he's still posted a 0.66 ERA and 0.70 WHIP in 27.1 innings across 16 relief outings this year.

Nola allowed two hits and a walk while striking out 12 in 5.1 scoreless innings during Friday's loss to the Mets in the first game of Friday's doubleheader. He didn't factor into the decision.

Nola hit the leadoff batter and gave up a double to begin Friday's matinee, but he struck out the next 10 batters he faced, which matched Tom Seaver's 51-year-old major-league record, Sarah Langs of MLB.com reports. While the right-hander drove in the Phillies' lone run with a double of his own in the top of the fifth inning, the Mets responded later in the game and won in extra innings. Although Nola gave up six runs in 2.1 innings during his last start, he's now had two scoreless appearances in his last three outings. The 28-year-old tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Marlins on Wednesday.
