Burnes allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Pirates on Tuesday.

Burnes was excellent aside from allowing a two-run home run to Henry Davis in the sixth inning. The Diamondbacks' bullpen then butchered the outing for Burnes, allowing a seven-run eighth inning to cost the right-hander a win. He's rattled off five straight quality starts and has gone seven innings three times in that span. He's at a 2.72 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 57:25 K:BB over 59.2 innings across 10 starts this season, as his slightly elevated walk rate (3.8 BB/9) hasn't come back to bite him too often yet. Burnes' next outing is projected to be at Atlanta next week.

Burrows allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 3.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Burrows' second major-league start was a little worse than his first. He gave up a solo home run to Corbin Carroll in the first inning and then ran into trouble in the fourth. Burrows would have taken a second loss were it not for the Pirates' offense rallying ahead in a massive eighth inning. Burrows has given up nine runs (eight earned) with a 5:4 K:BB across 8.1 innings over his first two starts. Should he stay in the rotation, he is tentatively projected to make his next appearance at home versus the Astros.

Meyer allowed six runs (four earned) on seven hits and two walks while failing to record a strikeout over 3.1 innings in a no-decision Tuesday versus the Padres.

The Marlins opened the game with a six-run first inning. That's usually enough of a lead to make for smooth sailing, but Meyer proceeded to give it all back, getting scored on in four straight innings before exiting at 74 pitches (44 strikes) in a poor start. He has allowed at least four runs in five of his last six outings, erasing much of his positive start to the season. The right-hander is now at a 4.53 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 63:19 K:BB over 59.2 innings through 11 starts. His next start is projected to be at home versus the hapless Rockies, which gives him a good opportunity to bounce back.

Kolek (3-1) allowed six runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.1 innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Marlins.

Kolek was terrible in the first inning, which is when he allowed all six runs. He allowed just three more baserunners on a hit, a walk and an error over the last 4.1 innings of his start, and the Padres' comeback effort rewarded him with a win. He was able to avoid giving up a home run for the fourth time in five starts, but he's been tagged for 15 runs (14 earned) over his last three outings. Kolek is now at a 4.11 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB through 30.2 innings this season. He is tentatively projected to make his next start on the road in San Francisco.

Parker (4-4) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over 4.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Mariners.

Parker yielded three home runs in the loss, including two to Cal Raleigh. Those long balls accounted for all of the damage on Parker's line, as he failed to complete five innings for the fourth time in five outings in May. He's also given up at least three runs in each of those starts, though he had surrendered just two homers all season prior to Tuesday. Parker is now at a 4.65 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 40:26 K:BB through 60 innings over 11 starts. His next outing is projected to be at Arizona this weekend.

Horton didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Rockies after allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out six.

Horton set a season high in punchouts as well as innings pitched, also recording his first quality start of the year. Through the first four starts of his major-league career, the rookie right-hander owns a serviceable 3.98 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB covering 20.1 frames. Horton has drawn some favorable matchups in the early going, having faced the White Sox, Marlins and Rockies in three of his outings, and he's lined up to see another fairly unimposing assignment against the Nationals in his next scheduled appearance.

Marquez didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cubs after allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out six.

It was Marquez's first quality start on the road since his first outing of the season, and he also established a season high in punchouts. Tuesday also marked the veteran right-hander's third time throwing at least six innings while giving up two runs or fewer in his last four appearances, during which he has a respectable 3.52 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB over 23 frames. Marquez is also set to work away from hitter-friendly Coors Field in his next scheduled start, which lines up for next week against the Marlins.

Pallante did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's win over Baltimore. He allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out seven over 5.2 innings.

Pallante worked through three scoreless frames before the Orioles scored an unearned run in the fourth inning. He then served up a three-run shot to Ryan O'Hearn in the fifth. Pallante tied his season high with seven punchouts while generating 12 whiffs on 91 total pitches. He's thrown exactly 5.2 innings in his last two appearances after completing seven frames in each of his previous two starts. Pallante's ERA sits at 4.23 with a lackluster 42:23 K:BB through 61.2 frames. He's lined up for a home start against the Royals next week.

May (3-4) allowed three runs on four hits and two walks over five innings Tuesday, striking out nine and earning a win over Cleveland.

May worked through three scoreless frames before coughing up a three-run shot to Daniel Schneemann in the fourth inning. Beyond that, May didn't face much trouble as he struck out a season-high nine batters. He's posted an impressive 25:5 K:BB over his last three starts, but he's given up eight runs over 16 frames during that span. May is sporting a 4.20 ERA with a 58:20 K:BB through 55.2 innings this season. He's lined up to face the Mets at home next week, when he'll look for a third straight win.

Webb (5-5) yielded three runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings Tuesday, striking out 10 and taking a loss against Detroit.

Webb gave up a run in each of the first three frames but still delivered a strong fantasy performance. He reached double-digit strikeouts for the third time this season and first since April 18. Webb threw 64 of 104 pitches for strikes and generated a season-high 20 whiffs, including nine each with the changeup and sweeper. The veteran righty owns a 2.82 ERA with an impressive 84:17 K:BB through 73.1 innings. Webb has produced eight quality starts in 12 outings this season. He's currently slated to face the Padres at home next week.
