Rodriguez (5-7) allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out six over seven innings to earn the win Thursday over the Rockies.

Rodriguez didn't fare well in a no-decision versus the Rockies in Arizona last week, allowing five runs over 5.1 innings. He was much better in Colorado, limiting the damage to a Kyle Farmer solo home run in the fifth inning. Inconsistency has been the story of the year for Rodriguez, who has allowed two or fewer runs in just three of his last seven outings. He's at a 5.40 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 111:43 K:BB across 110 innings through 21 starts. The veteran southpaw is projected to make his next start at home versus the Guardians.

Senga didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk across 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Senga nearly submitted his first quality start in seven appearances, but he was pulled at 93 pitches with two outs in the sixth frame. Still, it was a step in the right direction for the 32-year-old, as he had allowed at least three runs in each of his last four starts and walked 14 batters during that span. His seven Ks also tied a season high. Through 19 appearances, Senga has a 2.35 ERA and a 95:48 K:BB across 99.2 innings. He's on track to face the Nationals in his next start.

Elder (5-9) picked up the win Thursday against the Mets, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks across seven innings. He struck out six.

Elder snapped a streak of three consecutive losses Thursday, delivering a quality start and completing seven innings for the first time in 10 appearances. The 26-year-old has been inconsistent in his last eight starts, allowing five or more earned runs three times and fewer than three earned runs three times during that stretch. On the year, Elder has a 5.89 ERA and an 87:41 K:BB across 107 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the White Sox next time out.

Luzardo (11-6) took the loss Thursday against Washington, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out seven.

Luzardo recorded his fourth consecutive quality start, but Thursday's outing was his first of that stretch to not result in a win. The left-hander seems to have left a late July blip in the rearview mirrow, during which he allowed 10 runs over 9.2 innings across two starts. During his quality start streak, Luzardo has a 2.52 ERA and a 22:5 K:BB across 25 innings. Luzardo's next start is tentatively scheduled to come against the Mariners early next week.

Ober allowed three runs on four hits and struck out four without walking a batter over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Tigers on Thursday.

Ober allowed a two-run home run to Riley Greene in the fourth inning and an RBI single to Colt Keith in the sixth. While Ober was stingy with baserunners, the Tigers were able to take advantage of his few mistakes. He's given up eight runs over 16.1 innings across three starts since returning from a left hip impingement. Overall, he's posted a 5.15 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 86:24 K:BB through 108.1 innings across 20 starts this season. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Athletics.

Skubal allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Thursday.

Skubal was chased in the fifth inning of his previous outing, but he was able to bounce back with a quality start this time around. However, the three strikeouts were his second fewest in a game this year, better than only his Opening Day performance against the Dodgers. He's also allowed at least three runs in four of his last six starts -- while not terrible in that stretch, we've seen him be more dominant for long stretches in the last couple of years. Overall, Skubal has a 2.42 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 190:23 K:BB through 152.1 innings over 24 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Astros.

Cabrera (6-6) took the loss Thursday against the Guardians, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out six.

It was a tough outing for Cabrera, who came back to earth after pitching to a 1.40 ERA in his previous four starts (25.2 innings). Overall, the 27-year-old right-hander sports a 3.34 ERA with a 1.16 WHIP and a career-high 120 strikeouts across 21 starts (113.1 innings). Cabrera will look to get back on track in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week at home against the Cardinals.

Bibee (9-9) earned the win Thursday over the Marlins, allowing four runs (two earned) on five hits and four walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

After giving up three runs in the first inning -- in part due to some shoddy defense -- Bibee managed to right the ship and hold Miami to just one run over his final 4.2 frames. The right-hander has won five of his last six outings despite posting a subpar 5.13 ERA in that span. Overall, Bibee sports a 4.54 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and 124:43 K:BB across 24 starts (136.2 innings) this season. He's currently lined up to face the Diamondbacks on the road his next time out.

Evans (6-5) took the loss Thursday against the Orioles, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and four walks over four innings. He struck out one.

Evans struggled with his command Thursday, issuing a season-high four walks in an eventual 5-3 defeat. The 24-year-old Evans had gone 3-1 in his previous four outings, despite posting a mediocre 5.85 ERA in that span. Overall, his ERA sits at 4.37 through 15 starts (78.1 innings) this season with a 1.40 WHIP and 58:30 K:BB. Evans is currently scheduled to face the Phillies on the road his next time out.

Sugano (10-5) earned the win Thursday against the Mariners, allowing a run on three hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out two.

Sugano pitched well Thursday, holding Seattle scoreless through five innings before a rain delay ended his day at 81 pitches with one on and one out in the sixth. Rico Garcia then served up a two-run homer to Julio Rodriguez when play resumed to break the shutout. It's the fourth win in six starts for Sugano, who's pitched to a 3.27 ERA in that span (33 innings). Overall, his ERA sits at 4.13 with a 1.28 WHIP and 82:32 K:BB through 23 starts (126.1 innings) this season. Sugano's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Red Sox in his next outing.
