Mikolas (8-9) took the loss Tuesday versus the Rockies, allowing 10 runs on 14 hits while striking out two in 2.2 innings.

For context, Mikolas had allowed 11 runs in his previous 18.1 innings across three starts, and that was one of his less impressive parts of the year. The 33-year-old right-hander will probably want to forget this one as fast as possible, as his ERA spiked from 2.92 to 3.50 after the horrid start. He's also posted a 1.09 WHIP and 108:27 K:BB through 141.1 innings across 23 starts. Mikolas will look to get back on track in a key divisional matchup versus the Brewers this weekend.

Lynn (2-5) was charged with the loss in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals after allowing four runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and a walk over six innings.

He surrendered only two runs through his first five frames, but a two-run home run from Nick Pratto during the sixth inning soured Lynn's outing. The veteran right-hander allowed 14 runs in his final two starts before the All-Star break, but in four outings since he has a 3.43 ERA and 27:2 K:BB across 23.2 frames. Lynn lines up to finish the week with a start versus the Tigers on Sunday.

Hill did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over four innings against Atlanta. He did not record a strikeout.

Austin Riley got to Hill for an RBI triple to score Ronald Acuna in the first inning. Atlanta then tagged hill for three more runs in the third inning before manager Alex Cora pulled him from the game. Hill has now gone three straight games allowing three or more runs while failing to reach five innings and holds a 4.75 ERA on the season. He next lines up to face the Yankees this weekend.

Morton did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk over six innings against the Red Sox. He struck out seven.

Morton was a victim of the long ball Tuesday. Three of the six against him went for home runs, accounting for four of his five runs allowed. The veteran righty otherwise looked OK, as he walked just one batter and struck out seven while generating 12 whiffs. He carries a 4.26 ERA and 1.21 WHIP into his next scheduled start against the Mets next week

Feltner (2-3) allowed five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Cardinals.

Feltner wasn't sharp Tuesday, but he had plenty of support, as the Rockies were up 12-0 through three innings. The right-hander has given up at least five runs in four of his 10 appearances this year, including two of his four home outings. He owns a 6.02 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB across 46.1 innings through 10 appearances (nine starts). With Chad Kuhl (hip) on the injured list, Feltner is likely to receive at least one more start, tentatively scheduled for a home start versus the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Singer (5-4) earned the win in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox. He allowed one run on five hits with six strikeouts and zero walks in 7.1 innings.

The right-hander generated only seven whiffs but threw 71 of 99 pitches for strikes, and the only blemish against him was a solo shot off the bat of Josh Harrison. Singer has covered at least six frames in each of his past six starts, and he has a 2.29 ERA and 42:9 K:BB across 39.1 innings during that span. He tentatively lines up for a tough matchup with the Dodgers on Sunday.

Henry (1-1) earned the win during Tuesday's 6-4 victory over the Pirates, allowing one run on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts in seven innings.

It had been reported that Henry had adjusted the grip on his slider and curve and the results paid off -- albeit against weak competition -- as the only damage against the rookie lefty was a Michael Chavis solo shot in the sixth inning. The 25-year-old fired 58 of 88 pitches for strikes, with 11 of the swinging variety, en route to his first major-league win. Henry has surrendered five runs on 14 baserunners with six strikeouts across 11 innings through two starts. He tentatively lines up for another start this week in Colorado on Sunday.

Manoah did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings in a 6-5 loss to the Orioles. He struck out five.

Toronto's ace got off to a rocky start, surrendering two runs in the first inning and proceeding to allow one more run to score in the third. While he was unable to record the quality start, Manoah was able to get through five innings for the 22nd time this season despite not being at his best. He'll look to get the better of the Orioles in his next scheduled start next week.

Bradish did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out four.

The Orioles' rookie was effective through five innings, with the only blemish being a solo home run off the bat of Bo Bichette, but Bradish got himself into trouble in the sixth. A couple of singles and errors helped two Toronto runners scores, chasing him from the game. While his 6.42 ERA on the surface looks scary, Bradish owned a respectable 3.88 xFIP coming into Tuesday's matchup and dominated Triple-A to the tune of a 1.83 ERA over four games this season, so he is still worth a stash in deeper and keeper leagues in case he turns things around.

Urquidy (11-4) recorded the victory Tuesday over Texas despite allowing five runs on five hits, two walks and two hit batsmen while striking out three in five innings.

Urquidy allowed three home runs but left the game with a 6-5 lead and picked up the victory. Marcus Semien, Corey Seager and Adolis Garcia all took the lefty deep. The poor showing ended a run of nine straight quality starts for Urquidy. He is 6-1 with a 2.82 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 50:14 K:BB in 64 innings across his last 10 starts, including Tuesday. His next start will likely be early next week in Chicago against the White Sox.
