Eovaldi (7-3) picked up the win Sunday against Houston, allowing one run on five hits and one walk over 7.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Eovaldi has been dominant this season, allowing no more than three runs in any outing. He's stepped up his game even more in July, yielding two runs (one earned) on 12 hits and two walks with 18 strikeouts across three starts. Sunday's appearance marked Eovaldi's first time pitching more than six innings since a month-long stay on the injured list that sidelined him for almost all of June. The 35-year-old has a 1.58 ERA entering the All-Star break, particularly noteworthy considering he hasn't posted an ERA below 3.63 in his career.

Brown (9-4) took the loss Sunday against Texas, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out eight.

Brown has allowed four or more runs in back-to-back starts -- something he had done just once in his first 17 appearances of 2025. Four of the five hits he surrendered Sunday went for extra bases. He'll look to rebound after the All-Star break, but even with the cold spell, Brown owns a stellar 2.43 ERA and a 137:34 K:BB across 115 innings.

Carter went 2-for-4 with an RBI triple, a double and two runs scored during Sunday's 5-1 win over the Astros.

Carter notched his first triple of the season Sunday and tallied his second game with multiple extra-base hits. In his last five starts, Carter is 6-for-21 (.286) with seven RBI and six runs scored. He'll take a .269/.351/.425 slash line into the All-Star break.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 5-1 win over Houston.

Garcia homered for the third time in four games and extended his hit streak to nine games with his solo shot in the third inning off Hunter Brown. During that streak, Garcia is 11-for-39 (.282) with six runs scored and seven RBI. He'll take a .683 OPS into the All-Star break.

Semien went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 5-1 win over the Astros.

Semien went yard for a second straight game, tagging Kaleb Ort for a solo shot in the eighth inning. The second baseman is up to 12 home runs on the season, five of which have come in the last 13 games. Semien is 15-for-51 (.294) with 16 runs scored and 14 RBI during that stretch.

Short went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Sunday's 5-1 loss to Texas.

Short notched his first long ball with the Astros in his 10th game with the team, tagging Nathan Eovaldi for a solo shot in the sixth inning. The round tripper was Short's first in the big leagues since 2023, as he went homerless in 88 plate appearances with three different teams during 2024. He's slashing .286/.348/.524 since being called up July 2.

Flaherty didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Seattle, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over five innings.

Flaherty punched out at least seven batters for a fourth straight outing, and he hasn't allowed more than three runs in a start during that stretch. The four-start spurt has come immediately after a pair of appearances in which Flaherty allowed eight and seven runs, respectively. He owns a 4.65 ERA and a 124:40 K:BB across 100.2 innings this season, with his strikeout total ranking 15th in MLB.

Gilbert didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Detroit, allowing two unearned runs on six hits and two walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out nine.

Gilbert had allowed four earned runs in three of his last four starts, but he managed to slow down a strong Tigers offense Sunday. Both runs scored while Gilbert was on the mound came after an error in the first inning. Dillon Dingler delivered the blow with a two-RBI double. Since returning from the injured list June 16, Gilbert has a 4.40 ERA and a 44:9 K:BB across 30.2 innings.

Arozarena went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an RBI double during Sunday's 8-4 win over the Tigers.

Arozarena hit his ninth home run in 13 games, a remarkable stretch for the 30-year-old who homered just eight times in his first 356 plate appearances of 2025. Sunday's outing also marked Arozarena's eighth multi-hit performance in 15 games. He'll take a .251/.357/.463 slash line into the All-Star break.

Young went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 8-4 win over Detroit.

Young and Jorge Polanco hit back-to-back solo home runs as part of a four-run ninth inning. The long ball was Young's second of his rookie campaign, and he'll take a five-game hit streak into the All-Star break. He's 7-for-18 (.389) with four RBI and four runs scored during that stretch.
