Senzatela gave up two runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out two over six innings Tuesday against the Diamondbacks. He received a no-decision in Colorado's 6-2 win.

This was one of his better starts this season, but he still allowed nine or more baserunners for the fourth time in his last five outings. Senzatela has a 5.81 ERA and 1.65 WHIP through 48 innings. The right-hander carries a 3-4 record into his next scheduled start versus the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Davies didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Twins, scattering five hits and two walks over six scoreless innings while striking out four.

Minnesota didn't get a runner past second base against the right-hander, but Davies was matched zero for zero by rookie Devin Smeltzer, and Milwaukee's bullpen faltered after Davies left the game. He now sports a 2.19 ERA and 42:19 K:BB through 61.2 innings, with four quality starts in his last five trips to the mound.

Wainwright (4-5) allowed four earned runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out 10 across six innings to take the loss Tuesday against the Phillies.

Wainwright coughed up a three-run lead, allowing a two-run double to Bryce Harper in the third inning and a two-run homer to Cesar Hernandez in the fourth frame. However, the right-hander found the zone with 64 of 92 pitches and racked up an impressive 10 strikeouts -- his highest single-game total since May 25, 2014 -- on the strength of 23 called strikes. He now owns a 4.94 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with 51 strikeouts across 58.1 innings. He'll look to improve on those numbers in his next start, currently scheduled for Sunday against the Cubs.

Fried (7-3) took the loss Tuesday as Atlanta was downed 5-4 by the Nationals, giving up four runs on nine hits and three walks over 5.2 innings while striking out five.

The three free passes and four runs allowed each tied his season high, which indicates just how consistent the 25-year-old has been so far. Fried now boasts a 3.19 ERA and 56:16 K:BB through 62 innings in his first full big-league campaign.

Strasburg (5-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's 5-4 victory over Atlanta, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings while striking out 11.

The strikeouts tied his season high, as Strasburg turned in his fourth straight quality start and eighth of the year in 12 trips to the mound. The right-hander now sports a 3.19 ERA and 98:20 K:BB through 79 innings.

Lauer (4-4) struck out four and picked up the win in Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Yankees, giving up one run on four hits and no walks over 5.1 innings.

Lauer shut out the Yankees until the fourth inning, when Gary Sanchez blasted a solo homer for the Yankees' first run. The left-hander didn't allow more than one hit in an inning until the sixth, when he allowed two singles before being lifted after 83 pitches. The 23-year-old will carry a 4.45 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 49:14 K:BB over 58.2 innings into his next start Monday at home against the Phillies.

Lyles was removed from Tuesday's game against the Reds due to left hamstring discomfort.

Lyles struggled through four innings by allowing three runs on three hits, including a two-run home run to Derek Dietrich. The 28-year-old's status for Sunday's start versus the Brewers is up in the air with the severity of the injury not yet known.

Lugo (shoulder) threw off flat ground Monday and is scheduled for a bullpen session Wednesday, Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports reports.

Lugo landed on the 10-day injured list May 20 due to right shoulder tendinitis, but he appears to be progressing nicely in his recovery. He'll likely toss a bullpen session or two before being cleared to pitch to live hitters.

Keller was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Keller struggled in his major-league debut, yielding six runs over four innings of work. Richard Rodriguez was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Burnes picked up his first win of the season in Monday's victory over the Twins.

Cron retired all three batters he faced, two via strikeout, and was credited with the win when the Brewers turned a 4-3 deficit into a 5-4 lead in the top of the eighth inning. Since giving up nine earned runs over 2.1 innings across two outings earlier this month, he has gotten back on track with three scoreless innings over his last two appearances, in which he gave up no hits and posted a 4:1 K:BB.
