Mikolas did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing two runs on four hits and a walk over five-plus innings against Seattle. He struck out two.

The veteran starter held Seattle scoreless through five innings before running into trouble in the sixth frame, allowing two baserunners without recording an out before Gordon Graceffo came on and let both inherited runners -- plus two more -- cross the plate. While the season has been underwhelming overall for Mikolas, he's pieced together a solid stretch lately, logging a 2.25 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over 16 innings across his three most recent starts.

Woo (13-7) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks over six innings in a 4-2 victory over St. Louis. He struck out nine.

Woo delivered six strong innings Monday, halting a brief two-start stretch of shorter outings after previously going six-plus in each of his first 25 starts. The right-hander has been one of MLB's most reliable arms this season, compiling a 3.02 ERA and 0.95 WHIP across 175.2 innings in 28 starts. While not overpowering with strikeouts (9.1 K/9), his nine punchouts Monday tied a season high, and his elite command (1.7 BB/9) continues to fuel his consistency.

Lodolo did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing two hits and a walk over five scoreless innings against the Padres. He struck out two.

Lodolo returned from an illness that sidelined him for a start and turned in a sharp five-inning performance, though the Reds' bullpen gave away the lead and left him with a no-decision. The left-hander has quietly been excellent this season, posting a 3.10 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 139.1 innings in 25 starts.

Darvish did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks over 5.2 innings against the Reds. He struck out seven.

Darvish surrendered a leadoff homer to TJ Friedl but settled in to grind out 5.2 serviceable innings, keeping the Padres in a game they ultimately won in 10 innings. It's been a challenging season for the veteran right-hander, who didn't debut until July 7 due to an elbow injury. Through 12 starts, he owns a 5.65 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 57.1 innings as San Diego hopes he can find his form heading into the postseason.

Woods Richardson (6-4) earned the win Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over five innings against the Angels. He struck out six.

Woods Richardson battled through a rough second inning in which he gave up three runs but still came away with his first victory since July 8. It marked his third start since returning from the injured list after dealing with a digestive tract parasite. On the season, the right-hander has logged 20 appearances and owns a 4.58 ERA and 1.39 WHIP across 94.1 innings.

Dollander allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Monday.

Dollander did his part, but the Rockies got no-hit for the first eight innings of the game. They were able to scrape together a run to keep Dollander from taking the loss, and it's encouraging he pitched well after allowing 10 runs over 9.1 innings across his first two career starts against the Dodgers. Despite this positive step forward, he still has a 6.52 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 82:49 K:BB through 98 innings over 21 starts this season. The rookie right-hander's next start is projected to be in San Diego this weekend.

Glasnow (2-3) threw seven no-hit innings, allowing one run on two walks while striking out 11 and earning the win over the Rockies on Monday.

Glasnow was scratched from starting Friday versus the Orioles due to back tightness, but the extra rest appears to have done wonders for him. He wasn't limited in Monday's start, throwing 65 of 105 pitches for strikes in his best outing of the season. Glasnow lowered his ERA to 3.21 with a 1.03 WHIP and 92:34 K:BB through 75.2 innings over 15 starts this season. Assuming he comes out of this impressive effort in fine shape, he's projected to make his next start at home in a tough matchup versus the Phillies next week.

Crochet (15-5) allowed three hits and struck out 10 without walking a batter over seven shutout innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Monday.

Just one of the three hits went for extra bases. This was Crochet's fifth scoreless outing of the season, and he reached the double-digit mark in strikeouts for the seventh time in an impressive bounce-back performance after his season-worst outing against Cleveland last week. Crochet is now at a 2.57 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 228:42 K:BB through 185.1 innings over 29 starts. The southpaw's next start is expected to be at home versus the Yankees this weekend.

Morales (3-1) allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out two over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Red Sox on Monday.

Morales had his first setback in the majors, as he allowed as many runs in this start as he did across his first six appearances combined. The Red Sox were also able to get to him for two home runs to send him to his first loss. Morales has a 2.73 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB over 33 innings so far. He'll look to bounce back this weekend in a start projected to be at home against the Reds.

Webb (14-9) allowed four runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Monday.

The Giants fell behind early after an error led to three runners eventually crossing the plate in the second inning. Webb was steady enough to overcome that, and the Giants' offense took over in the sixth to help him secure his fourth win in his last five starts. He's allowed a total of 10 runs (seven earned) with a 33:6 K:BB across 31 innings in that span. Overall, Webb has a 3.12 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a career-high 201 strikeouts through 184.2 innings over 30 starts this season. The 28-year-old's next start is projected to be at home versus the Dodgers this weekend as he attempts to tie his career high of 15 wins.
