Cole Irvin RP | LAD
Athletics' Cole Irvin: Twirls gem Monday
Irvin (3-6) allowed a run on four hits and struck out four without walking a batter in eight innings to earn the win Monday over the Blue Jays.
Irvin got through the order perfectly the first time through, but the Blue Jays tagged him for a run and two hits in the fourth inning. He didn't allow a baserunner past first after that, finishing strong with 95 pitches (67 strikes) in a dominant outing. This was the sixth time in 14 starts Irvin's limited opponents to one run or fewer, and it's the second start in a row he's covered at least seven innings. The southpaw has a 3.35 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 56:18 K:BB through 83.1 innings overall. He'll look to keep rolling in another tough projected matchup against the Astros this weekend.

Blue Jays' Alek Manoah: Handed loss Monday
Manoah (9-3) allowed five runs (four earned) on six hits, two walks and a hit batter while striking out five over 5.2 innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Athletics.

He still owns a 2.33 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 90:21 K:BB through 100.1 innings overall, and he'll look to get back on track in Seattle this weekend.

For the season, he owns a 3.30 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 48:18 K:BB across 60 innings. Cueto will look to regain his control this weekend in a home start versus the Tigers.

This was the first time in four starts Bundy's allowed a long ball, and he's given up six runs (five earned) in 24 innings in that span. The solid stretch has him down to a 4.50 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP and 53:14 K:BB through 70 innings in 14 starts overall. The right-hander is scheduled for a road start versus the Rangers this weekend.

It was the first time he allowed fewer than three runs since May 26; he posted a brutal 6.54 ERA over his previous six outings. The 27-year-old southpaw now owns a strong 89:27 K:BB with a 3.84 ERA through 84.1 innings this season. Lauer is lined up to face the Pirates at home this weekend.

Brayan Bello RP | BOS
Red Sox's Brayan Bello: Making MLB debut Wednesday
Bello confirmed that he'll be called up from Triple-A Worcester to start for the Red Sox in Wednesday's series finale with the Rays, Katie Morrison of The Springfield Republicanreports.
Bello has been dominant this season between stops at Worcester and Double-A, compiling a 2.33 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 114:33 K:BB in 85 innings at the two levels. He's proven that he's ready for a shot at the big leagues, and he'll get his opportunity Wednesday at Fenway Park. Boston currently has four other starting pitchers on the injured list and another in Michael Wacha (dead arm) who is day-to-day, so Bello could get a chance to stick around beyond Wednesday if he fares well in his MLB debut.

Nationals' Patrick Corbin: Delivers another impressive start
Corbin allowed one run on eight hits and one walk while striking out four across seven innings Monday against the Marlins. He didn't factor into the decision.
Corbin surrendered his only run of the day in the top of the third inning on an RBI single to left field, and he would exit without an opportunity to earn the win despite turning in yet another strong performance.

The southpaw got knocked around for five runs in his previous outing, but he's allowed three runs or fewer in four of his last five starts. Garrett has accrued a 4.25 ERA and 1.45 WHIP with a 26:7 K:BB over 29.2 innings on the year.

Dean Kremer SP | MIN
Orioles' Dean Kremer: Falls back to Earth
Kremer gave up five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings Monday against the Rangers. He didn't factor into the decision.
Kremer turned in his worst performance of the 2022 season Monday after surrendering just five runs (four earned) over his first five outings of the campaign over 28 frames. Things really fell apart in the fifth inning for Kremer, as he gave up all five runs in the inning on a sacrifice fly, an RBI single and a three-run shot. Despite this, the right-hander still owns a 2.48 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with a 23:9 K:BB across 32.2 innings on the year.
