Warren (3-3) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing seven runs on six hits and four walks while striking out two batters over 1.1 innings.

Warren entered Saturday as one of the hottest pitchers in baseball, compiling a 2.05 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 33:5 K:BB over his previous four starts. However, he was unable to continue the strong stretch against the defending champions, as the right-hander gave up four runs in the first inning and another three in the second, exiting after serving up a three-run blast to Max Muncy with one out in that frame. Warren's lack of control was a large part of his woes -- he tossed just 29 of 57 pitches for strikes and tied a season high with four walks during his brief time on the mound. The outing was Warren's shortest of the season, and the seven runs were the most he's given up on the campaign. The blow-up increased his overall ERA by more than a run from 4.09 to 5.19, but Warren pitched well enough throughout May to earn a bit of leash, and he should get an opportunity to bounce back in his next start, which is projected to be at home against Boston.

Knack (3-2) earned the win over the Yankees on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks while striking out six batters over six innings.

Knack had the pressure of pitching on a national stage assuaged early Saturday, as the Dodgers put up four runs in the first inning and six more in the second to hand the right-hander a big lead. The 27-year-old hurler responded with a sharp six frames, and the only run he allowed came on a solo homer by Aaron Judge in the fourth inning. Knack notched a quality start for a second straight outing, and he's allowed a total of two earned runs while posting an 11:3 K:BB over 12 innings during that span. He may not stick in the Dodgers' rotation once the team's bevy of injured starters begin to return, but for now he's lined up to make his next start on the road against the Cardinals.

Falter (4-3) allowed two hits and a walk while striking out one over 6.1 shutout innings to earn the win Saturday over the Padres.

Falter went 3-0 with just four runs allowed (three earned) over 35.2 innings across his six starts in May. The one downside was his 19:13 K:BB, though Falter has never been one to rack up strikeouts. On the year, he's at a 3.14 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 41:22 K:BB through 66 innings over 12 starts. He is tentatively projected to next take the mound at home against his former team, the Phillies, next weekend.

Ray (7-1) tossed seven innings Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks while striking out nine batters in a loss to Miami.

Ray was excellent in the outing, racking up 19 whiffs and nine punchouts while throwing 65 of 98 pitches for strikes. However, the Marlins squeezed out a run against him on two walks and a single in the second inning, and that tally held up to hand the southpaw his first lost of the campaign. Despite the defeat, Ray managed to extend his streak of quality starts to seven, and he lowered his season ERA to an impressive 2.43. The veteran hurler is also tied for 10th in MLB with 78 punchouts, and Ray remains in the early conversation for NL Cy Young consideration with his standout start to the campaign.

Cease (1-4) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out six over 4.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Pirates.

Cease has dialed up at least six strikeouts in each of his last five starts, but he is 0-2 despite a 3.60 ERA over 30 innings in that span. This was the fifth time he's fallen short of completing five innings this year, and he threw 59 of 95 pitches for strikes. Cease is at a 4.66 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 78:21 K:BB across 63.2 innings over 12 starts this season.

Ober allowed two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.

Ober gave up a two-run home run to Cal Raleigh in the third inning to account for the damage on his line. Beyond that, it was simple inefficiency that led to Ober's short start, as he threw 64 of 97 pitches for strikes. That's been a recurring theme during his stretch of five straight no-decisions -- he's completed five innings in just two of those starts. However, he hasn't allowed more than three runs since his season debut. Overall, he has a 3.48 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 50:14 K:BB through 62 innings over 12 starts. The right-hander's next start is projected to be on the road versus the Athletics.

Cabrera (2-1) earned the win over San Francisco on Saturday, allowing six hits and issuing three walks while striking out five batters over 5.2 scoreless innings.

Though Cabrera allowed 10 baserunners (including one who reached on an error), none of the hits against him went for extra bases. The right-hander was pulled after issuing a two-out walk followed by a single in the sixth inning to prevent him from notching a quality start, but this was another promising May outing after Cabrera struggled mightily in April. He finished that month with a 7.23 ERA over four starts, but he's since brought that number down to a tolerable 4.14 by allowing three or fewer runs in five straight appearances. Cabrera has been especially effective in his past two starts, tossing 11.1 scoreless frames while compiling a 15:5 K:BB. He'll look to remain on a roll in his next start, which lines up to be a road matchup against Tampa Bay.

Senzatela (1-10) took the loss Saturday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks over four innings in a 8-2 loss against the Mets. He struck out two.

Senzatela's nightmare season continued Saturday, with the Mets tagging him for four runs in the first inning and three more in the fourth frame. The right-hander has now suffered seven straight losses, posting an 8.82 ERA and 2.02 WHIP across 33.2 innings during that stretch. On the year, the 30-year-old owns a 7.14 ERA and 1.98 WHIP over 58 innings, and it's unclear how much longer the Rockies will keep him in the rotation.

Miller allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out two over four innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Twins.

Miller missed nearly three weeks due to right elbow inflammation, and he returned without a rehab assignment. That likely led to a pitch count, as he was pulled after 71 pitches (45 strikes), though he also struggled a bit, giving up all three runs in the second inning. Miller is now at a 5.36 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 37:22 K:BB through 43.2 innings over nine starts this season. The 26-year-old is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Angels.

Senga (6-3) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over 6.1 innings against the Rockies. He struck out seven.

​The right-hander worked around an Ezequiel Tovar solo homer in the first inning to deliver a quality start Saturday. After shoulder and calf injuries derailed his 2024 campaign, Senga has returned with elite production in 2025. Through 11 starts, the 32-year-old has posted a 1.60 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 62 innings. It's still early, but Senga should already be considered a serious contender for the National League Cy Young Award.
