Marquez allowed seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks while striking out one batter over three innings in a no-decision against Arizona on Saturday.

Marquez looked like he could be turning a rough season around when he earned a win by allowing one run over seven frames in his previous start, but the veteran hurler struggled mightily again Saturday. After Colorado staked him to a 3-0 lead through half an inning, Marquez squandered the advantage by allowing three runs in the bottom of the frame, though the final tally was unearned. The right-hander yielded three more run in the second and an unearned run in the third before his outing came to a merciful end. Marquez has now allowed at least five earned runs in six of his past seven starts, pushing his season ERA to an ugly 8.78 mark. The Rockies aren't exactly loaded with pitching depth, so Marquez figures to keep going out to the mound with the hope of getting on track. His next start lines up to be a tough matchup against the Phillies.

Roupp allowed five hits and two walks while striking out five over six shutout innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Saturday.

Roupp turned in his third quality start of the season with his first scoreless outing. He threw 59 of 92 pitches for strikes, though a lack of run support led to him coming away without a win for a fifth straight start. He also issued a walk for the first time in three starts. Roupp has been passable this season with a 4.11 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 47:16 K:BB in 46 innings across nine starts, numbers similar to what he posted in a swingman role in 2024. He's had a bit more trouble with the long ball, however, allowing six homers in 2025 compared to just two over 50.1 innings last season. Roupp's next start is projected to be on the road versus the Nationals.

Pivetta allowed a run on two hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.

Pivetta limited the damage to a Rowdy Tellez solo home run in the fifth inning. The Padres' bullpen couldn't do the same in the 4-1 loss, but Pivetta won't have to wear the loss, as he exited with the game tied at 1-1. This was a good bounce back for the 32-year-old, who gave up a season-high six runs in a loss to the Rockies in his previous start. This was his fifth quality start of the season but his first since April 22 versus the Tigers. Pivetta has a 2.86 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 56:15 K:BB across 50.1 innings through nine starts this year.

Myers (1-1) took the loss against Minnesota on Saturday, allowing four runs on 11 hits and no walks while striking out four batters over 3.2 innings.

As a result of Jose Quintana (shoulder) landing on the injured list, Myers moved back into the rotation after being sent down to Triple-A on Sunday. However, Myers endured his worst outing of the campaign, as the red-hot Twins tagged him for 11 hits, including two doubles and a homer. Myers did manage to avoid walking any batters, but he notched just four whiffs and needed 71 pitches to complete 3.2 frames. It remains to be seen if Myers will get another turn in the rotation, as Aaron Civale (hamstring) could be activated off the injured list as soon as the coming week.

Holmes allowed two runs on three hits and four walks while striking out five batters over six innings in a no-decision against Boston on Saturday.

Holmes struggled with his control in the contest, throwing just 57 of 99 pitches for strikes and tying a season high with four free passes, but he mostly managed to limit the damage. The only runs against the right-hander came on a two-run blast by Jarren Duran in the third inning. Holmes finished with his second straight quality start and his third such effort in his past four outings. During that span, he's posted a 3.42 ERA along with a 23:8 K:BB across 23.2 frames. Despite the imminent return of Spencer Strider (hamstring), Holmes is set to remain in Atlanta's rotation, and his next start lines up to come at home against the Padres.

Mlodzinski (1-4) took the loss against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with two strikeouts over 3.1 innings.

The 26-year-old was lifted at 78 pitches with two runners aboard in the fourth inning, both of whom came around to score on a single by Bryson Stott. It marked Mlodzinski's shortest outing of the season and the first time he's allowed more than three earned runs in a start since April 18. He'll take a 5.67 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 28:12 K:BB across 39.2 innings into a home matchup with the Brewers next weekend.

Wheeler (5-1) earned the win against the Pirates on Saturday, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out six over six scoreless innings.

Wheeler generated 13 swinging strikes on 97 pitches and departed with a 5-0 lead. The veteran hurler has now logged 16 consecutive scoreless frames and has recorded a quality start in each of his past six outings. He'll carry a 2.67 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 80:12 K:BB across 64 innings into a road matchup with the Athletics next weekend.

Alcantara (2-6) took the loss against the Rays on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts over five innings.

Alcantara opened with four scoreless innings before unraveling in the fifth, when he allowed six baserunners and four runs. He generated only nine whiffs on 101 pitches and has now surrendered four earned runs or more in four straight outings. On the season, he owns a 7.99 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 34:23 K:BB across 41.2 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Angels next weekend.

Irvin (3-1) earned the win against the Orioles on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with six strikeouts over 6.1 innings.

Irvin was given a six-run cushion in the first inning and ran with it, tossing six scoreless frames before giving up two runs in the seventh. In three May outings, the 28-year-old has allowed seven earned runs and logged two quality starts, though he's managed just seven total strikeouts in that span. On the season, he owns a 3.88 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 40:17 K:BB across 60.1 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Giants next weekend.

Boyd (4-2) picked up the win Saturday, giving up three runs on four hits over six innings in a 7-3 victory over the White Sox. He struck out eight without walking a batter.

The veteran southpaw did serve up solo shots to Chase Meidroth in the first inning and Tim Elko in the fifth, but otherwise Boyd was firmly in control as he delivered his third straight quality start and sixth of the year. The eight Ks tied his season high, and Boyd will take a 2.98 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 53:13 K:BB through 51.1 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Cincinnati.
