Suarez (2-1) allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out a batter over 1.1 innings as he took the loss against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Suarez entered with two outs in the sixth and registered a quick strikeout to get out of the inning. He came back out to face the top of the Dodger lineup and surrendered a leadoff solo home run to Mookie Betts, which broke a 3-3 tie. It was the first homer he's given up this season and the second straight outing in which he's given up a run after starting the season with 20.1 scoreless frames. He still owns an outstanding 0.79 ERA and 0.66 WHIP to go along with a 19:6 K:BB over 22.2 innings.

Anderson (3-7) was charged with the loss Tuesday at Washington after surrendering six runs on 10 hits with four strikeouts and a walk across six innings.

The 31-year-old allowed three singles to load the bases before recording an out Tuesday, and he served up a grand slam to Yan Gomes as part of a five-run frame. The lefty settled down after that by allowing just one run given up on four hits over the following five innings, but the damage was already done. Anderson has a 4.89 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 65:20 K:BB over 73.2 innings this season, and he tentatively lines up for a tough matchup with the White Sox next week.

Corbin (4-5) earned the win Tuesday against the Pirates after giving up a run on eight hits with seven strikeouts and a walk across 8.1 innings.

It's the first time since May 13 the veteran southpaw allowed fewer than three runs as he delivered his longest start of the season while generating 14 swinging strikes on 110 pitches. Corbin has a 5.60 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 55:27 K:BB across 70.2 innings, and he tentatively lines up to face the Mets on Sunday.

Gallen (elbow) felt good after throwing a bullpen session Tuesday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Gallen, who threw a simulated game Saturday before Tuesday's session, is nearing a return to the majors. Manager Torey Lovullo said the team is discussing next steps for Gallen, who has been out since mid-May. The plan is likely to include a rehab assignment in the minors.

Darvish didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rockies after allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while fanning five across five innings.

Pitching at Coors Field is always tough and Darvish's numbers in this outing reflected that, as he delivered one of his most inefficient outings of the season. The left-hander looked in complete control during the first three innings, but he couldn't hold on and was lifted in the sixth inning before even recording an out. The Japanese hurler saw his ERA increase to 2.57, but he continues to be one of the most reliable pitchers in the National League and should remain a strong play across all formats. He's slated to pitch again during the weekend series against the Reds at home.

Kim didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Marlins despite tossing six innings with just one run allowed. He gave up three hits and five walks while fanning six.

The southpaw made his first start since June 4 and while he delivered good results, he was far from composed -- he only tossed 49 of his 102 pitches for strikes and the five walks represent a season-worst mark as well. Kim owns a 3.72 ERA on the season and is scheduled to make his next start during the weekend against the Braves on the road.

Rogers tossed six innings of one-run ball Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing three hits and a walk while fanning six. He didn't factor into the decision.

Rogers might have departed the game with a no-decision, but there's no question he was impressive on the mound once again and continues to deliver excellent results every time he takes the ball. The left-hander, who recently returned from the COVID-19 IL, has allowed two or fewer earned runs in eight straight outings and owns an excellent 1.98 ERA as a result. Rogers' next start is scheduled for this weekend on the road against the Cubs.

Lugo earned the save Tuesday after tossing two scoreless innings. He allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three.

With Edwin Diaz unavailable after pitching three of the last four games, Lugo came in to close out a one-run ballgame. He retired the side in the eighth, including a pair of strikeouts. After returning for the ninth, the right-hander worked around a pair of singles and a walk to finish off the win for the Mets, tossing 37 pitches in the process. Across six appearances this year, Lugo has compiled a 1.17 ERA and 1.17 WHIP.

Walker (6-2) picked up the win Tuesday after holding the Cubs to two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out 12 across seven innings.

Walker's only blemish of the night was a two-run homer by Javier Baez in the third inning. Otherwise, the right-hander displayed impressive control, notching a career-high 12 strikeouts while not issuing any walks for the third time this year. Walker, who has been one of the best pitchers in the National League this season, has now allowed one run or fewer in six of his last seven starts, lowering his ERA to 2.12 and his WHIP to 1.00. The 28-year-old is slated to take the mound again on the road Sunday at Washington.

Garrett was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

The left-hander made his third start of the season Monday versus the Cardinals and allowed two runs on seven hits with three strikeouts and a walk over 4.1 innings. The Marlins have scheduled off days Thursday and next Monday, so the team can operate with a short rotation for the immediate future. Garrett has a 5.56 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB across 11.1 innings this season, and he could receive another look from Miami later in the summer.
