Logan Taylor Allen SP | CLE
Guardians' Logan Allen: Coughs up four runs in no-decision
Allen took a no-decision in Sunday's 9-8 extra-inning victory over the Rangers, conceding four runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out four.
Allen struggled once again in this 88-pitch appearance, generating only eight whiffs. The 27-year-old gave up two runs on an Alejandro Osuna double in the second before allowing two additional tallies via a Jake Burger single in the third. Allen slogged through the second half, pitching to a 4.59 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 52:24 K:BB in 66.2 innings after the All-Star break. Overall, the Cleveland southpaw concludes his regular season with a 4.25 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 122:62 K:BB across 156.2 total frames.

Javier Assad RP | CHC
Cubs' Javier Assad: Nabs fourth win
Assad (4-1) allowed three hits and one walk while striking out six over 5.1 shutout innings to earn the win Sunday over the Cardinals.
Assad closed out the regular season by winning four of his last five outings, one of which was a relief appearance. In that span, he gave up nine runs across 23 innings with a 14:9 K:BB. The right-hander has a 3.65 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB across 37 innings through eight appearances (seven starts) this season. His 79-pitch outing Sunday will likely keep him off the Cubs' roster for the wild-card round versus the Padres, but Assad could be included in the bullpen if Chicago advances to the NLDS.

Patrick Corbin SP | TEX
Rangers' Patrick Corbin: Five Ks in no-decision
Corbin did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 9-8 extra-inning loss, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out five.
The veteran southpaw kept the Cleveland lineup relatively in check during this 90-pitch outing, as he didn't concede an extra-base knock. Corbin gave up two runs on a Johnathan Rodriguez single in the first before being tagged with another run on a Bo Naylor sacrifice fly in the third. The 37-year-old concludes his season with a 4.40 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 131:51 K:BB across 155.1 total frames.

Kevin Gausman SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: Stumbles in finale
Gausman did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Rays, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks across 3.2 innings. He struck out five.
It was a rocky finish to the regular season for Gausman, who allowed eight runs on 17 hits across 9.1 innings in his last two outings -- he had given up just three runs over 30 innings in his previous four outings. The 34-year-old Gausman will wrap up the campaign at 10-11 with a 3.59 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 189 strikeouts across 32 starts (193 innings).

Lance McCullers SP | HOU
Astros' Lance McCullers: No-decision in season finale
McCullers did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Angels, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out four across three innings.
McCullers was activated from the 15-day injured list Saturday after recovering from a right hand injury. He gave up a solo homer to Mike Trout in the first before keeping the Angels off the board over the next two frames, but he did not return to the mound for the fourth frame after tossing 54 pitches (35 strikes). McCullers will end the 2025 regular season with a 2-5 record across 16 games (13 starts) with a 6.51 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 61:39 K:BB over 55.1 innings. The 32-year-old right-hander is under contract with Houston through 2026.

Clayton Kershaw SP | LAD
Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Victorious in final start
Kershaw (11-2) earned the win in Sunday's 6-1 win over Seattle, striking out seven and allowing four hits and one walk over 5.1 scoreless innings.
The future Hall of Famer dazzled in his last regular-season start, generating 16 whiffs out of his 94 total pitches to stymy the division-winning Mariners. The only extra-base hit Kershaw allowed was a Miles Mastrobuoni double in the third inning. The star southpaw wraps his final regular season with a 3.36 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 84:35 K:BB across 112.2 total innings. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed prior to Sunday's game that because Kershaw was making a normal start in the regular-season finale, the southpaw wouldn't be available for the team's three-game wild-card series with the Reds, per Andrew Destin of the Associated Press. Kershaw could still be included on the roster for the NLDS if the Dodgers are able to advance past the wild-card round.

Bryce Miller SP | SEA
Mariners' Bryce Miller: Flounders again in loss
Miller (4-6) took the loss in Sunday's contest against the Dodgers, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over four innings with two strikeouts.
The Seattle right-hander's run of less-than-stellar work continued in his final outing of the regular season. Miller allowed all four runs on a pair of two-run homers -- Hyeseong Kim in the second and Freddie Freeman in the fourth -- as he wraps 2025 on a stretch of 12 consecutive starts allowing two or more earned runs. Over that span, Miller tallied just one quality start while pitching to a 6.79 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 59.2 frames. The Texas A&M product concludes his regular season with a 5.68 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 74:34 K:BB in 90.1 total innings.

Freddy Peralta SP | MIL
Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Allows a run in two frames
Peralta took a no-decision in Sunday's 4-2 win against the Reds, conceding one run on three hits and no walks over two innings. He struck out three.
The Milwaukee right-hander threw only 44 pitches, 30 of which were strikes, in this short tune-up before his team enters the playoffs. The lone blemish on Peralta's line came via an Elly De La Cruz solo homer in the second. With this effort, Peralta concludes the finest regular season in his eight-year career. He pitched to a 2.70 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 204:66 K:BB across 176.2 total innings.

McCade Brown P | COL
Rockies' McCade Brown: Falls to Giants
Brown (0-5) took the loss Sunday against San Francisco, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks across three innings. He struck out two.
Both runs charged to Brown came via the long ball -- he gave up a solo shot to Willy Adames to lead off the game before Rafael Devers led off the fourth with another homer. It's a tough way to finish the season for Brown, who allowed one run while striking out 10 in his last time out against the Mariners. Overall, Brown posted a 7.36 ERA with a 1.83 WHIP and 23:11 K:BB across 25.2 innings in his first seven major-league starts.

Brady Singer SP | CIN
Reds' Brady Singer: Fans five in loss
Singer (14-12) allowed three runs on five hits and one walk over 3.1 innings to take the loss Sunday at Milwaukee. He struck out five.
The 29-year-old labored in this outing, requiring 71 pitches to complete his 10-out appearance. Singer yielded a run on a Brice Turang double in the third before being tagged for a two-run homer by Danny Jansen in the fourth, chasing the righty from the game. This performance wraps Singer's first regular season with the Reds. He pitched to a 4.03 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 163:60 K:BB across 169.2 total frames.
