Cannon (2-6) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Yankees.

Cannon was responsible for two of the three home runs Juan Soto hit in this contest. It was the first time since June 29 that Cannon has given up multiple homers, and the three runs allowed were his most in four outings. He's now at a 4.02 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 55:23 K:BB through 80.2 innings over 15 appearances (13 starts). He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start on the road in San Francisco.

Rea (10-4) allowed seven runs on 10 hits and struck out four without walking a batter over six innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Rea was no match for a strong offense, as the Dodgers tagged him for four home runs, which accounted for six of the seven runs he gave up. The silver lining was the zero walks, something he hadn't done since July 3. The right-hander is now at a 3.72 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 103:36 K:BB over 128.1 innings across 23 appearances (20 starts) this season. Rea's next outing is projected to be at home versus the Guardians.

Baz (0-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Astros, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out six.

While he ultimately came away with the loss Tuesday, it was a solid outing from Baz, who delivered a season-high seven innings after he was tagged for four runs in just 4.1 frames against the Cardinals in his last start. The 25-year-old Baz now has a 4.21 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP and 32:14 K:BB through his first 36.1 innings this season. He's currently slated to face the A's on the road early next week in his next start.

Knack allowed a run on three hits and struck out two without walking a batter over four innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Brewers.

This was Knack's first appearance since he was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday. He delivered a strong relief outing and spared the rest of the Dodgers' bullpen in the process to earn his first career save. For the year, Knack has maintained a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 44:12 K:BB through 48 innings over 10 appearances. While Knack has generally been impressive, Walker Buehler's return Wednesday from a hip injury will fill the rotation spot vacated by River Ryan (elbow). Considering Knack also threw 64 pitches in Tuesday's contest, he could be the corresponding move to clear a 26-man roster spot for Buehler.

Kikuchi (6-9) earned the win Tuesday over the Rays, allowing one run on three hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

Kikuchi allowed a lone run in the second inning before rebounding to retire 12 of the final 14 batters he faced en route to a 3-2 Astros win. The 33-year-old Kikuchi has allowed just five runs in three starts (16.2 innings) since joining Houston after struggling to a 7.75 ERA in his final eight outings with the Blue Jays. Overall, the left-hander sports a 4.49 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and 154:36 K:BB through 132.1 innings this year. Kikuchi is currently lined up to face the Red Sox at home early next week in his next start.

Stone (10-5) allowed one run on three hits and struck out six without walking a batter over five innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Brewers.

Stone was sharp, throwing 61 of 86 pitches for strikes. The lone run on his line came from a William Contreras solo shot in the third inning. The long ball remains a problem for Stone -- he's allowed at least one homer in each of his last seven starts, and this was just the third time in that span he's been able to complete five innings. He's now at a 3.63 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 95:32 K:BB through 121.1 innings over 22 starts this season. Stone's next start is projected to be at St. Louis.

Walker (3-4) took the loss Tuesday against the Marlins, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out five.

Making his first start since June 21, Walker ran into trouble early, allowing a pair of runs in the first inning before giving up a solo homer to Jake Burger in the third. It's been a tough year thus far for the 32-year-old Walker -- he doesn't have a win since May 11 while pitching to a 5.68 ERA with a 1.51 WHIP and 48:24 K:BB across 11 starts (57 innings). He'll look to get on track in his next outing, currently scheduled for this weekend at home versus the Nationals.

Irvin (9-10) earned the win against the Orioles on Tuesday, allowing two runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts over six innings

Irvin allowed two runs over his first three innings but rebounded with three scoreless frames to earn his second quality start in five chances since the All-Star break. It was an encouraging effort after the righty surrendered nine earned runs over his previous two outings, but he did allow his 11th homer since the calendar flipped to July. On the season, the 27-year-old owns a 3.72 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 122:34 K:BB across 145 innings and lines up to face the Phillies this weekend.

Bellozo (2-1) earned the win Tuesday over the Phillies, allowing four hits and one walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out four.

It was an impressive performance from Bellozo against a potent Phillies lineup -- the 24-year-old right-hander has now won back-to-back starts while delivering 12.2 scoreless innings. Bellozo doesn't have overpowering stuff, but he's shown an ability to limit hard contact early in his MLB career. Bellozo's ERA is down to 2.28 with a 0.94 WHIP and 23:6 K:BB through his first five outings (27.2 innings). He's currently lined up to face the Diamondbacks at home in his next start.

Rogers (2-11) took the loss against the Nationals on Tuesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts over five innings.

Rogers' velocity was down on each of his offerings, and he generated only five whiffs on 78 pitches. He has failed to register a win or quality start in three chances with the Orioles, allowing five earned runs in two of those contests. On the season, the southpaw owns a 4.89 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 92:53 K:BB across 119.2 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Red Sox this weekend.
