Ashby (2-10) allowed four runs on three hits, five walks and a hit batter while striking out five over 4.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Reds.

Ashby gave up two runs in the second inning and a two-run home run to Jose Barrero in the fourth. The five walks Ashby allowed matched a season high, and this was the first time in six starts he's allowed more than two earned runs. The southpaw now has a 4.32 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 103:41 K:BB through 85.1 innings across 21 appearances (15 starts). He's projected for a road start in St. Louis next weekend, with two off days for the Brewers next week likely affording Ashby extra rest.

Lodolo allowed three runs on four hits, four walks and a hit batter while striking out four over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Brewers on Saturday.

Lodolo threw 56 of 100 pitches for strikes, and he was tagged for a pair of home runs by Andrew McCutchen and Keston Hiura in the fourth inning. This was just the second time in nine outings Lodolo's given up multiple homers, but the four walks were a season high and the four strikeouts matched his low mark for the year. The 24-year-old owns a 4.40 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 58:20 K:BB through 43 innings in his rookie year. He's projected for a more favorable home start versus the Cubs next week.

Fried (10-4) allowed four runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out five in six innings, taking the loss in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader versus the Mets.

Fried gave up three runs in the third inning and another in the sixth. Two of Atlanta's three errors in this contest led to runs, allowing Fried to log his fourth straight quality start. The southpaw has maintained a 2.60 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 127:25 K:BB in 138.1 innings across 22 outings this year. He'll look to avoid going a season-worst four starts without a win in his next turn, tentatively projected to be a road start in Miami next weekend.

Flexen (7-9) took the loss during a 7-1 defeat in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Angels, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts in six innings.

Flexen navigated the first two innings unscathed before surrendering five runs over the next four innings to fall in line for the loss. The rough outing breaks a five-start streak of allowing two runs or fewer, during which the 28-year-old pitched to a 1.95 ERA across 27.2 innings. Flexen sports a 3.92 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with 81 strikeouts in 117 innings across 21 starts and is scheduled to pitch again next weekend on the road against the Rangers.

Detmers (4-3) earned the win in Game 2 of Saturday's 7-1 victory over Seattle, allowing one run on six hits and one walk with seven strikeouts in seven innings.

Detmers kept the damage to a minimum early and surrendered only one run on a Luis Torrens solo shot in the fifth. This was the lefty's third straight start permitting one earned run or fewer. The 23-year-old has pitched to a 1.16 ERA in five starts since the start of July while recording 38 strikeouts in 31 innings. Detmers possesses 3.44 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 82 strikeouts in 89 innings across 17 starts and lines up to pitch again versus Minnesota next weekend.

Suarez (8-5) gave up three earned runs over 5.1 innings and picked up the win in Saturday's victory over the Nationals. He allowed seven hits, struck out five batters and walked two.

Suarez was not as sharp as he was over his previous three outings -- over which he did not allow an earned run over 16.0 innings -- but he still picked up his eighth win of the season and fourth over his last seven starts. His next start will likely come against the streaking Mets, a team he has not faced since April 11 in his first outing of the campaign.

Corbin (4-16) gave up six earned runs over 0.2 innings and took the loss Saturday as the Nationals fell to the Phillies. He allowed five hits, did not strike out a batter and walked two.

Corbin failed to make it out of the first inning for the second time in three starts, and his latest rough outing pushed his ERA to an unsightly 7.02. Provided he remains on regular rest, Corbin's next start will come at home against the Padres.

Bundy allowed two runs on five hits and a walk with six strikeouts in four innings in a no-decision versus the Blue Jays on Saturday.

It was an unusually short start for Bundy (65 pitches, 45 strikes), with the only blemish on his line a two-run home run to Bo Bichette. It doesn't sound like Bundy had any issues, though it may be part of workload management -- his 93.1 innings this season is his highest total in three years. He's logged a 5.01 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 74:20 K:BB through 19 starts, and he's projected for a road start versus his former team, the Angels, next weekend.

Heaney didn't factor into the decision during Saturday's 8-3 win against the Padres, allowing three unearned runs on four hits and one walk with three strikeouts in 4.2 innings.

Making his third start since returning from a shoulder injury, Heaney permitted a single baserunner through three frames before surrendering three unearned runs on three hits in the fourth following a Gavin Lux error. Heaney has allowed only a single earned run in 12.2 innings since his return, but he hasn't received a win as Los Angeles has eased him back into the rotation with no more than 81 pitches and 4.2 innings in any outing. The 31-year-old has allowed seven runs (two earned) in 28 innings across six starts this season, and he lines up to pitch again next weekend in Kansas City.

Clevinger (3-4) took the loss during Saturday's 8-3 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts in 4.2 innings.

Clevinger fired a clean first inning before running into trouble thereafter, surrendering single runs in the second and third and a Max Muncy three-run home run in the fifth to fall in line for the loss. The rough outing snapped a three-start streak of allowing two runs or fewer while the three strikeouts constitute his lowest total over his last seven outings. Clevinger carries a 3.60 ERA and 1.12 WHIP into his next start, scheduled to come next weekend in Washington.
