Chapman earned the save in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Royals, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

Chapman was called upon to face the heart of the Royals' order and worked around an error and a single to secure his sixth save in as many chances. The veteran closer has been outstanding so far this season, posting a 1.88 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 20:5 K:BB across 14.1 innings.

Giolito (1-1) earned the win against the Royals on Sunday, allowing one unearned run on two hits and one walk with five strikeouts over 6.2 innings.

Giolito threw 59 of 88 pitches for strikes and yielded just one unearned run, which came on his own throwing error in the third inning. The 30-year-old has now delivered two quality starts in three outings and rebounded nicely from Tuesday's six-run loss. He'll carry a 4.96 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB across 16.1 innings into a home matchup with Atlanta next weekend.

Lugo (3-4) took the loss against the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks with five strikeouts over six innings.

Lugo was burned by a solo home run in the fourth inning and a two-run shot in the sixth. The 35-year-old still notched his fifth consecutive quality start, though he's now surrendered nine long balls in nine outings. On the season, he owns a 3.02 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 42:15 K:BB across 56.2 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Cardinals next weekend.

Lopez did not factor in the decision during Sunday's extra-inning win over the Giants. He allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings.

Lopez gave up one run through three frames before Heliot Ramos took him deep for a two-run shot in the fourth inning. It was the first home run allowed by Lopez since April 2. Lopez threw 55 of 91 pitches for strikes and walked multiple batters for just the second time this season. He's produced only two quality starts in seven appearances this season despite registering a strong 2.77 ERA through 39 innings. Lopez is projected to start in Milwaukee next weekend.

Rasmussen (1-4) took the loss against the Brewers on Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk with three strikeouts over five innings.

Rasmussen surrendered back-to-back home runs in the fourth inning and was charged with his third straight loss. He's now allowed three earned runs or more in four of his past five outings and hasn't recorded a win since his season debut. Still, the 29-year-old owns a solid 3.38 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB across 40 innings and lines up for a favorable matchup with the Marlins next weekend.

Burger is eligible to be called up to the Rangers' major-league roster Monday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Burger was sent down to Triple-A Round Rock on May 2 after struggling to a .190/.231/.330 slash line with three home runs, 12 RBI and 13 runs scored over 100 at-bats in 30 games with the Rangers to open the season. The righty bat has gone 9-for-23 with two home runs, six RBI and five runs scored over 23 at-bats in six games with Round Rock so far, and the Rangers may feel like they've seen enough to promote him back to the major-league roster in the near future.

Garcia went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Tigers.

Garcia doubled and scored in the second inning before crossing the plate again after a stolen base in the third. The 32-year-old entered Sunday in an 0-for-11 skid, though he does have three multi-hit efforts across 10 games in May. On the season, he's hitting .225 with five home runs, 22 RBI, 13 runs scored and five steals across 157 plate appearances.

Lee went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and three runs scored in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Giants.

Lee put the Twins on the board with his two-run shot in the fourth inning. It was his third home run of the year and first since April 30. He later singled and scored in the sixth and 10th innings. Lee had gone 9-for-46 (.196) with one multi-hit performance over his previous 13 games entering Sunday. He's now slashing .253/.301/.402 with seven extra-base hits through 26 games.

Jung went 2-for-4 with with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-1 win over the Tigers.

Jung extended the Rangers' lead to 5-0 with a two-run blast in the fifth inning. The third baseman has mostly struggled through 10 May contests, going just 7-for-35 with two homers, four RBI and three runs scored. On the season, he's slashing .265/.301/.436 with four long balls, 12 RBI, 10 runs scored and two steals across 123 plate appearances.

Eovaldi (4-2) earned the win against the Tigers on Sunday, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out seven over seven scoreless innings.

Eovaldi was spotted an early lead and cruised from there, generating 13 whiffs on 95 pitches while closing with three perfect innings. The veteran has now delivered five consecutive quality starts and has allowed three earned runs or fewer in all nine of his outings this season. He'll take a stellar 1.78 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 60:5 K:BB across 55.2 innings into a home matchup with the Astros next weekend.
