Jacob deGrom SP | TEX
Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Takes no-decision
DeGrom settled for a no-decision after throwing six innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out six during Saturday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.
DeGrom turned in another great performance, allowing two or fewer runs over five-plus innings for the 11th straight start. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that he hasn't allowed more than five hits in a game since late April. The 36-year-old has a 2.19 ERA this year, which is seventh best in MLB. He'll have a chance to continue that domination against a struggling Royals offense, which he is tentatively scheduled to face in his next start.

Tanner Bibee SP | CLE
Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Lasts five innings in no-decision
Bibee allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three over five innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.
Bibee has walked multiple batters in three of his last four starts, a span in which he has two losses and two no-decisions while allowing 11 runs over 22.2 innings. He needed 104 pitches (61 strikes) in this start, which was a bit inefficient after a rocky first inning. Bibee is now at a 3.79 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 65:26 K:BB through 80.2 innings over 14 starts. The 26-year-old righty is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Athletics.

Mike Vasil P | CHW
White Sox's Mike Vasil: Control issues in no-decision
Vasil picked up a no-decision after throwing four shutout innings, allowing two hits and four walks while striking out four during Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers.
Walks were an issue for Vasil, but he battled through it to post four zeros on the scoreboard. Four innings was his longest outing on the season as he's now made just two starts, and he's pitched to 1.99 ERA over 45.1 innings. However, the 25-year-old seems destined to head back to the bullpen with the White Sox adding Aaron Civale to the rotation via trade Friday.

George Kirby SP | SEA
Mariners' George Kirby: Takes no-decision Saturday
Kirby allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Guardians on Saturday.
The three walks were a season high, contributing to his fairly early exit. Kirby needed 101 pitches (63 strikes) to get through five frames, which was a bit of a letdown after his 14-strikeout performance in his previous start versus the Angels. Kirby has been middling so far with a 5.96 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 30:7 K:BB across 25.2 innings over five starts after beginning the year sidelined by shoulder inflammation. He is lined up to make his next start on the road versus the Cubs.

Landen Roupp SP | SF
Giants' Landen Roupp: Chased early in loss
Roupp (4-5) allowed six runs on four hits and five walks while failing to record a strikeout over 1.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers.
The five walks were a season high for Roupp, who endured his shortest outing of 2025. He needed 45 pitches (21 strikes) to get five outs Saturday. Roupp has largely done well against light-hitting offenses while struggling versus better teams, and that trend continued wtih his perfoemance in Los Angeles. He's posted a serviceable 3.99 ERA, but his 1.46 WHIP and 63:29 K:BB through 70 innings over 14 starts are more troublesome. Roupp's next start is projected to be at home versus the Red Sox.

Tomoyuki Sugano SP | COL
Orioles' Tomoyuki Sugano: Battles to no-decision
Sugano settled for the no-decision after throwing 4.2 innings and allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Angels.
Sugano didn't make it through the fifth inning for the second straight start, but he battled to limit the damage to just three runs and keep the Orioles in the game. The 35-year-old has allowed four or fewer runs in all of his 13 starts, pitching to a 3.38 ERA on the season. The right-hander is likely to make his next start on the road at Tampa Bay.

Clayton Kershaw SP | LAD
Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Tosses seven scoreless innings
Kershaw (2-0) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out five over seven scoreless innings to earn the win over the Giants on Saturday.
Kershaw was ultra-efficient, needing just 81 pitches (56 strikes) in this outing to deliver his longest outing of the season. He's allowed one run or less in three of his last four starts, and while the strikeout totals aren't all that high, the southpaw is still finding ways to get outs. He's now at a 3.25 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB through 27.2 innings over six starts this season. Kershaw is tentatively lined up to make his next start at home versus the Nationals, though the Dodgers' pitching plans over the next week could be altered depending on when Emmet Sheehan (elbow) is activated for his season debut.

Tyler Anderson SP | LAA
Angels' Tyler Anderson: Struggles in defeat
Anderson (2-4) took the loss after working five innings, allowing six runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four during Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.
June has not been kind to Anderson so far, as he failed to pitch into the sixth inning for the third straight start, allowing a season-high six runs in the process. Over those three starts, the 35-year-old has gone a collective 14 innings, allowing 14 runs on 24 hits and five walks. It doesn't get much easier for Anderson moving forward, with his next start scheduled against the Yankees.

Zac Gallen SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Fades in seventh inning
Gallen allowed four runs on six hits and four walks while striking out six over 6.1 innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Padres.
Gallen pitched well until the seventh inning, when he allowed three of the first four batters he faced to reach base. Ryan Thompson couldn't stop the Padres' rally, which cost Gallen a chance at the win, though the Diamondbacks pieced together a comeback for a walk-off in the ninth. This was the fourth time Gallen has walked a season-high four batters, and it continues a rough stretch for him, as he's now allowed four or more runs in six of his last seven starts. He's at a 5.19 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 81:40 K:BB across 86.2 innings through 15 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be at Colorado.

Jose Quintana SP | COL
Brewers' Jose Quintana: Lacks command in loss
Quintana (4-2) took the loss against the Cardinals on Saturday, allowing seven runs (five earned) on eight hits and three walks with four strikeouts over 4.1 innings.
Quintana was tagged for six runs across the fourth and fifth innings, failing to complete five frames for the first time this season despite throwing 101 pitches. It was the southpaw's first hiccup in three starts since returning from the injured list June 1, though he's now issued at least three walks in each of those outings. He owns a 3.35 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 35:21 K:BB across 48.1 innings and will look to bounce back in a road matchup with the Twins next weekend.
