Cease (1-4) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out six over 4.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Pirates.

Cease has dialed up at least six strikeouts in each of his last five starts, but he is 0-2 despite a 3.60 ERA over 30 innings in that span. This was the fifth time he's fallen short of completing five innings this year, and he threw 59 of 95 pitches for strikes. Cease is at a 4.66 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 78:21 K:BB across 63.2 innings over 12 starts this season.

Ober allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.

Ober gave up a two-run home run to Cal Raleigh in the third inning to account for the damage on his line. Beyond that, it was simple inefficiency that led to Ober's short start, as he threw 64 of 97 pitches for strikes. That's been a recurring theme during his stretch of five straight no-decisions -- he's completed five innings in just two of those starts. However, he hasn't allowed more than three runs since his season debut. Overall, he has a 3.48 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 50:14 K:BB through 62 innings over 12 starts. The right-hander's next start is projected to be on the road versus the Athletics.

Cabrera (2-1) earned the win over San Francisco on Saturday, allowing six hits and issuing three walks while striking out five batters over 5.2 scoreless innings.

Though Cabrera allowed 10 baserunners (including one who reached on an error), none of the hits against him went for extra bases. The right-hander was pulled after issuing a two-out walk followed by a single in the sixth inning to prevent him from notching a quality start, but this was another promising May outing after Cabrera struggled mightily in April. He finished that month with a 7.23 ERA over four starts, but he's since brought that number down to a tolerable 4.14 by allowing three or fewer runs in five straight appearances. Cabrera has been especially effective in his past two starts, tossing 11.1 scoreless frames while compiling a 15:5 K:BB. He'll look to remain on a roll in his next start, which lines up to be a road matchup against Tampa Bay.

Senzatela (1-10) took the loss Saturday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks over four innings in a 8-2 loss against the Mets. He struck out two.

Senzatela's nightmare season continued Saturday, with the Mets tagging him for four runs in the first inning and three more in the fourth frame. The right-hander has now suffered seven straight losses, posting an 8.82 ERA and 2.02 WHIP across 33.2 innings during that stretch. On the year, the 30-year-old owns a 7.14 ERA and 1.98 WHIP over 58 innings, and it's unclear how much longer the Rockies will keep him in the rotation.

Miller allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out two over four innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Twins.

Miller missed nearly three weeks due to right elbow inflammation, and he returned without a rehab assignment. That likely led to a pitch count, as he was pulled after 71 pitches (45 strikes), though he also struggled a bit, giving up all three runs in the second inning. Miller is now at a 5.36 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 37:22 K:BB through 43.2 innings over nine starts this season. The 26-year-old is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Angels.

Senga (6-3) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over 6.1 innings against the Rockies. He struck out seven.

​The right-hander worked around an Ezequiel Tovar solo homer in the first inning to deliver a quality start Saturday. After shoulder and calf injuries derailed his 2024 campaign, Senga has returned with elite production in 2025. Through 11 starts, the 32-year-old has posted a 1.60 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 62 innings. It's still early, but Senga should already be considered a serious contender for the National League Cy Young Award.

Corbin (3-4) took the loss Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Cardinals. He struck out three.

Corbin delivered a quality outing Saturday, but a lack of run support resulted in his fourth loss of the season. Despite the defeat, the left-hander is having a nice bounce-back campaign after posting a 5.62 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 174.2 regular-season innings with the Nationals in 2024. The 35-year-old owns a 3.71 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 53.1 innings, and he hasn't given up more than three earned runs in any of his 10 starts this year.

Gray (6-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing four hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings against the Rangers. He struck out 10.

Gray was in the zone Saturday, matching season highs in innings and strikeouts. The 35-year-old surrendered seven runs over 3.2 innings against the Phillies on May 14 but has since rebounded with three quality starts, posting a 1.42 ERA and 0.95 WHIP across 19 innings. On the season, the right-hander is sporting a 3.65 ERA and 1.12 WHIP through 69 innings.

Gordon (0-1) took the loss against Tampa Bay on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk while striking out six batters over five innings.

Gordon got through two scoreless frames before giving up three runs in the third, two of which came on a Yandy Diaz homer. Another long ball -- this time a solo shot by Junior Caminero -- in the fourth inning put Houston behind 4-3 and led to Gordon's first MLB loss. Despite the defeat, Gordon did show some positive traits, as he threw an efficient 53 of 75 pitches for strikes and racked up 12 whiffs along with six punchouts. The southpaw has a nice 20:3 K:BB over his first 19.2 big-league innings, but his ERA and WHIP are less impressive at 5.95 and 1.37, respectively.

Littell (5-5) earned the win over Houston on Saturday, allowing three runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out six batters over nine innings.

Littell allowed two homers to Jeremy Pena in his first three innings, with the second tying the score at 3-3. The Rays poured on the offense from there, and manager Kevin Cash elected to give the bullpen a break and let Littell finish off the contest, which he did without allowing another run. The right-hander threw 117 pitches -- the most by any major-league pitcher in a game this season -- en route to his first career complete game. Since giving up seven runs in four innings against the Angels on April 10, Littell has yielded three runs or fewer in each of his subsequent nine outings, compiling seven quality starts, five wins and a 2.97 ERA in that span.
