Liberatore (4-5) earned the win Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing one run on one hit and four walks while striking out nine over five innings.

Liberatore bounced back in a big way, throwing 60 of his 98 pitches for strikes while generating 15 whiffs on 41 swings. His lone run allowed came via an Ozzie Albies sacrifice fly in the third inning. At one point the left-hander struck out six in a stretch of 10 batters faced. Entering Tuesday, Liberatore had struggled heavily in June, posting a 10.34 ERA and 1.91 WHIP across four starts (15.2 innings). He now owns a 5.33 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 79:33 K:BB across 82.2 innings and is scheduled to face the Cubs on the road in his next start.

Springs (3-8) allowed six runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out two over 5.1 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Springs had a rotten June, allowing at least three runs in each of his six outings for the month. He gave up a total of 32 runs (30 earned) over 27 innings in that span. He still hasn't won a game since April 14 versus the Rangers. Springs is at a 5.79 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 80:33 K:BB through 93.1 innings over 18 starts this season. Springs has had a particularly tough time at home with a 6.79 ERA over his 11 home starts, including two games in Las Vegas. His next outing is projected to be on the road in Detroit.

Boyd (3-1) earned the win over San Diego on Tuesday, allowing three runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out two batters over five-plus innings.

Boyd made just his second appearance since returning from a lengthy absence due to injuries to his knee and shoulder, and he was limited to 76 pitches for a second straight start. That was enough to get him through five-plus innings, however, and consequently allowed him to get his third victory of the campaign. The left-hander was knocked for two long balls and departed having allowed two runners to reach base without recording an out in the sixth, but Javier Assad was able to get out of the jam without letting either inherited runner score. Boyd has been fairly effective so far since coming off the IL, yielding three runs across 9.2 frames with a 6:4 K:BB across his two starts. He's lined up to next face the Orioles in Baltimore.

Wrobleski (10-2) allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out 11 without walking a batter over seven innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Tuesday.

Wrobleski's 11 strikeouts were a career high. He was excellent in June, allowing nine runs over 30.2 innings with a 24:4 K:BB. He's won his last three starts and hasn't taken a loss since May 22 in Milwaukee. The southpaw is now at a 2.80 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 64:18 K:BB through 93.1 innings over 15 appearances (14 starts) this season. Wrobleski is projected to make his next start at home versus the Rockies.

Roupp (5-8) allowed six runs on five hits and six walks while striking out four over 2.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Roupp lacked control -- the six walks represented a season high. This was his shortest outing of the season and guaranteed that he ended a second straight month winless. He has gone 0-7 across his last 11 starts, allowing four or more runs in six of them. Roupp has a 4.55 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 99:40 K:BB through 89 innings over 17 starts this season. He's projected for a home start versus the Blue Jays in his next outing.

Cavalli (5-4) earned the win against the Red Sox on Tuesday, allowing one unearned run on one hit and no walks with 13 strikeouts over seven innings.

Cavalli was dominant after allowing an unearned run in the first inning, striking out a career-high 13 batters while retiring the final 19 he faced. He generated a whopping 25 swinging strikes on 100 pitches, including 15 with his four-seam fastball. While it marked the first time this season he did not allow an earned run, the 27-year-old has now held opponents to three earned runs or fewer in 16 of 18 outings. He'll take a 3.69 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 102:29 K:BB across 90.1 innings into a home matchup with the Astros next week.

Skubal (8-4) earned the win against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit and no walks with nine strikeouts over six innings.

Going against fellow ace Cam Schlittler, Skubal generated 13 swinging strikes on 87 pitches en route to his first win since April 18. The outing marked the first quality start in four turns since returning from the injured list for the 29-year-old, who has allowed seven homers during that span while still posting a strong 0.85 WHIP and 30:2 K:BB. He'll carry a 3.15 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 75:8 K:BB across 65.2 innings this season into a home matchup with the Athletics next week.

Schlittler (8-5) took the loss against the Tigers on Tuesday, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk with five strikeouts over four innings.

Schlittler surrendered a career-high four homers, one of which was almost robbed by Spencer Jones, in his shortest start of the campaign. The outing marked just the second time this season the 25-year-old allowed four earned runs or more, and he'll still finish June with a 3.38 ERA over six starts. He owns a 2.08 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 123:21 K:BB across 104 innings overall and will look to rebound in a road matchup with the Rays next week.

Gausman (4-7) took the loss against the Mets on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over six innings.

Gausman suffered his third straight loss despite giving up just one run in the fifth inning. He generated 14 whiffs on 96 pitches but also surrendered 11 hard-hit balls, seven of which resulted in outs. It was still a much-needed rebound for the veteran, who had yielded 13 earned runs over his previous two starts. He'll take a 4.19 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 100:24 K:BB across 101 innings this season into a road matchup with the Giants next week.

McLean (5-5) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.

McLean cruised through six frames, generating 11 swinging strikes on 91 pitches and limiting Toronto to only three hard-hit balls. It marked the second time this season the 24-year-old did not allow an earned run, an encouraging rebound after he yielded six earned runs in his previous outing Wednesday. He'll carry a 3.78 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 113:36 K:BB across 95.1 innings into a road matchup with Atlanta next week.
