    Nationals' Michael Soroka: Blanks Rangers for third win

    Soroka (3-3) picked up the win in Friday's 2-0 victory over the Rangers, scattering two hits and a walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

    The right-hander produced his best performance of the season in a duel with former Nationals starter Patrick Corbin. Soroka retired the first eight batters he faced before plunking Kyle Higashioka with a pitch, and Texas didn't get a runner past second base all night. The quality start was Soroka's second of the season, but both having come in his last three trips to the mound, a stretch in which he's posted a 3.63 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB over 17.1 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week against the Mets.

  • Pirates' Bailey Falter: Quick hook in no-decision

    Falter didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 5-4 win over the Phillies, coughing up four runs on five hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

    The southpaw's three-game quality start streak came crashing to a halt, as Falter got tagged for runs in the first, third and fourth frames before being lifted after 65 pitches (40 strikes). It's the first time since April 27 he's allowed more than two earned runs in an outing, and Falter will take a 3.49 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 43:24 K:BB through 69.2 innings into his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Marlins.

  • Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach: Middling performance Friday

    Schwellenbach allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Friday.

    This was a bit of a letdown after back-to-back 11-strikeout games from the 25-year-old right-hander. Schwellenbach still earned his third straight quality start, but two of those have just met that standard due to some mistakes from Atlanta's defense. He's also completed six innings in all but two of his 13 starts so far as he remains a reliable part of the rotation. Schwellenbach has a 3.24 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 75:14 K:BB over 80.2 innings. His next start is projected to be at Milwaukee.

  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Throws four scoreless frames

    Senzatela didn't factor into the decision against the Mets on Friday, allowing three hits and four walks while striking out two across four scoreless innings.

    Senzatela was brought in for the second inning after Ryan Rolison served as the opener. Senzatela had issues with his control and logged just 45 strikes on 84 pitches, but he got himself out of multiple jams and was able to do just enough to avoid being tagged for a run. He has a 6.68 ERA and 1.97 WHIP across 62 innings heading into his next start or bulk-relief appearance, tentatively slated for next week at home against the Giants.

  • Nick Lodolo SP | CIN

    Reds' Nick Lodolo: Records another quality start

    Lodolo gave up three runs on five hits and no walks in six innings before Friday's game against the Diamondbacks was suspended at 3-3 in the seventh inning. He struck out four.

    Before his night ended at 86 pitches, Lodolo notched his third quality start in his last four outings and eighth of the season among 13 appearances. The left-hander has put together quite an up-and-down campaign, but he carries a 3.21 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 64:14 K:BB across 75.2 innings overall. On tap next week is a generally favorable matchup against the Guardians, who have just a .276 slugging percentage versus southpaws since the start of May.

  • Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Efficient outing in return Friday

    Rodriguez gave up two runs on six hits and no walks in five innings before Friday's game against the Reds was suspended at 3-3 in the seventh inning. He struck out three.

    Rodriguez worked rather efficiently in his first MLB start since May 14, throwing 48 of his 72 pitches for strikes while not issuing a free pass for only the second time in 2025. While he matched his second-lowest strikeout total of the year, the 32-year-old southpaw tossed at least five innings while yielding two runs or fewer for the third time over his 10 outings. Rodriguez has a strong 55:18 K:BB through 49.2 innings, but his 6.70 ERA and 1.65 WHIP leave a lot to be desired. He'll look to improve his ratios his next time out versus the Mariners next week.

  • Chad Patrick SP | MIL

    Brewers' Chad Patrick: Fans six in tough-luck loss

    Patrick (3-5) took the loss Friday against the Padres after giving up one run on four hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out six.

    It was a strong performance from Patrick, who registered 11 whiffs and fanned at least six in his fourth consecutive start. Friday also marked the rookie right-hander's fifth quality start of the campaign. Brandon Woodruff (elbow) has been pulled off his rehab assignment, which appears to have bought Patrick even more more time to cement his stay in Milwaukee's rotation. Patrick will take an excellent 2.84 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 63:21 K:BB over 69.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance versus Atlanta.

  • Padres' Randy Vasquez: Manages scoreless start Friday

    Vasquez didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Brewers after giving up two hits and four walks in 4.2 scoreless innings. He struck out two.

    Vasquez had worked three hitless innings to begin the outing, but his lack of efficiency prevented him from getting deeper into the game. Just 40 of his 78 pitches landed for strikes, and the 26-year-old right-hander failed to reach the fifth inning for the sixth time in 13 appearances this year. Vasquez's 3.69 ERA on the season remains respectable, but his 37:34 K:BB and 4.8 walks per nine innings over 63.1 frames remain major impediments to his fantasy appeal. He won't be a recommended streamer versus the Dodgers his next time out.

  • Kodai Senga SP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Fans six in quality start

    Senga didn't factor into the decision against the Rockies on Friday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks while striking out six across six innings.

    It was another dominant start for Senga, who generated 22 whiffs on 109 pitches (67 strikes). He faced the minimum in three of the first four innings, and his only blemish was a Mickey Moniak solo homer in the third. This was Senga's sixth quality start of the season, and his 1.59 ERA (across 68 innings) is best in the National League among qualified starters. He's in line to make his next start against the Nationals at home next week.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Gives up four runs in loss

    Wrobleski (1-2) took the loss against the Cardinals on Friday, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five across six innings.

    Wrobleski made his second major-league start of the season Friday after being promoted from Triple-A Oklahoma City. He gave up two runs in the second and fifth frames -- including a two-run shot to Pedro Pages -- and the 24-year-old southpaw wasn't able to get any run support to avoid the loss. Wrobleski gave up eight runs in his 2025 debut against the Nationals on April 8, but he has posted a 3.60 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 10 innings across his last two outings. He's tentatively slated to face the Padres on the road next week.
