Gore did not factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Angels, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.

Gore had everything working, generating 21 swinging strikes on 100 pitches while registering at least four whiffs with four different offerings. It continued a strong August for the 27-year-old, who owns a 1.57 ERA through four outings this month, including two scoreless quality starts. He'll carry a 4.26 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 161:52 K:BB across 145.2 innings this season into his next start, which is projected to be a road matchup with the Brewers next weekend.

Detmers did not factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Rangers, allowing six hits and one walk while striking out five over six scoreless innings.

Detmers didn't have his best stuff, generating only nine swinging strikes on 89 pitches, but he pounded the strike zone en route to his second straight scoreless start. Dating back to the fifth inning of his July 17 outing, the southpaw has tossed 16 consecutive scoreless frames, posting a quality start in each of those efforts. He'll take a 3.62 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 172:44 K:BB across 149 innings this season into a home matchup with the Phillies next weekend.

Gusto did not factor into Friday's decision against the Nationals, allowing five hits and one walk while striking out two across four scoreless innings.

Gusto allowed at least one baserunner in all four of the frames in which he pitched (including two in both the first and fourth innings), but he managed to keep the Nationals off the board. It was the first time this season that he kept his opponent scoreless while completing at least four frames, and he finished Friday's outing having tossed 62 pitches (48 strikes) while generating six whiffs. Gusto figures to stay in the Marlins' rotation until Max Meyer (neck) returns from the injured list, which may not be until early September. Gusto is lined up to face the Red Sox at home next week.

Ginn (8-8) took the loss against the Astros on Friday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts over five innings.

Ginn opened with three scoreless frames before allowing runs in the fourth and fifth, throwing 57 of 94 pitches for strikes with nine whiffs. After opening the second half with three straight quality starts, the 27-year-old has now yielded seven earned runs over back-to-back losses. He owns a 3.60 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 118:55 K:BB across 132.1 innings this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Twins next week.

Peralta (5-11) took the loss against the Orioles on Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out six across seven innings.

Peralta fell to the Orioles on Friday for a second consecutive start, giving up seven runs over his last 11.2 frames against Baltimore. He kept the Orioles to two runs through four innings but allowed three baserunners to cross home in the fifth frame, highlighted by a two-run homer by Pete Alonso. Peralta has given up at least five earned runs six times this season, three of which have come over his last five outings. He hasn't been credited with a win since June 14 against Atlanta, and in four starts with the Rays, the veteran right-hander has a 7.17 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across 21.1 innings. Peralta is slated to take on the Tigers on the road next week.

Wesneski (3-1) earned the win against the Athletics on Friday, allowing one hit and three walks while striking out four in five scoreless innings.

Wesneski kept the Athletics off the board over five solid innings, generating 14 swinging strikes while throwing a season-high 91 pitches. It was a nice rebound after the 28-year-old allowed five runs Saturday, and he's allowed three earned runs or fewer while working five-plus frames in each of his four other starts since making his season debut July 29. He'll carry a 4.23 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB across 27.2 innings this season into a road matchup with the Mets next week.

Rogers (9-8) came away with the win against the Rays on Friday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six across seven innings.

All three of the runs Rogers gave up came in the second inning, highlighted by a two-run homer by Kenny Piper. Rogers kept the Rays off the board the rest of the way, tossing 103 pitches (75 strikes) while generating 14 whiffs and nine groundouts. It was the fourth time this season that he completed seven frames and his 12th quality start of the year, nine of which have come over his last 12 outings. Rogers will take a 4.14 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 132.2 innings into his next start, lined up for next week on the road against the Cardinals.

Webb (8-8) took the loss against the Red Sox on Friday, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out two across 2.2 innings.

Webb looked to have things under control through the first two innings of Friday's outing, but that all came crashing down in the third frame. He gave up a three-run home run to Willson Contreras before allowing the next five batters to reach base, with Boston tallying two additional runs on a bases-loaded walk and a hit-by pitch. Webb was pulled after the HBP, marking the first time this season that he failed to complete at least three innings in a start, and the five runs he yielded were his most in a game since July 8 against the Blue Jays. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against the Diamondbacks.

Gray (16-3) earned the win against the Giants on Friday, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six across six innings.

Gray didn't have his best stuff in Friday's outing, which was marred by a three-run fourth inning in which he gave up back-to-back homers to Drew Gilbert and Rafael Devers. However, Gray was able to complete six innings for a fifth consecutive start and received enough run support from his Red Sox teammates to log his 16th win of the season, which is tied with Cristopher Sanchez for most in the majors. Gray will take a 2.79 ERA and 1.16 WHIP (over 138.2 innings) into his next start, which is lined up for next week on the road against the Marlins.

Dobbins was removed from Friday's game against the Phillies with right forearm tightness, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Dobbins gave up three runs over four innings Friday and left the game with a trainer after throwing one pitch in the fifth inning. The Cardinals haven't provided any details regarding the severity of his injury, but more information could come after the game.
