Holton (1-2) allowed an unearned run across two innings of relief to take the loss Sunday against the Royals in 10 innings. He struck out three.

Holton didn't allow any hits or walks, but a Bobby Witt sac fly in the bottom of the 10th inning brought home the automatic baserunner and gave Kansas City a 4-3 win. The lefty reliever hasn't allowed an earned run across his last five appearances, during which he's struck out six batters in 5.1 innings. For the season, Holton now has a stellar 1.54 ERA as he continues to serve as a reliable bullpen option for the Tigers despite the losing record.

Grisham went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and three strikeouts in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Rays.

Pepiot bounced back well after surrendering six runs over six innings in his last start Tuesday against the Red Sox. One of the right-hander's biggest problems this season has been the long ball, and he surrendered two more Sunday. Trent Grisham launched a solo shot in the first inning before Cody Bellinger went deep with a solo homer of his own in the top of the sixth. Pepiot has now given up eight home runs over his first five starts of the season. He'll carry a 4.82 ERA and 1.50 WHIP into his next projected start Saturday in San Diego.

Bellinger went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a stolen base and two RBI in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Rays.

Bellinger delivered an RBI groundout in the top of the third inning before launching a solo homer off Ryan Pepiot in the top of sixth. The 29-year-old has now gone deep two times in 2025 to go along with a .179 average, 12 RBI, 10 runs scored and three stolen bases over 19 games. The homer was Bellinger's first since March 29.

Fried (4-0) earned a win after he pitched 7.2 scoreless innings, allowing two hits, two walks and a hit-by-pitch while striking out two in Sunday's 4-0 victory over the Rays.

Fried silenced Tampa Bay for his longest outing of the 2025 campaign, never allowing a baserunner to reach second base Sunday. The left-hander has now logged three consecutive quality starts, producing an 0.85 ERA and 0.76 WHIP with 20 strikeouts over 21.1 innings during that stretch. Fried's next start is tentatively set to come Saturday at home versus Toronto.

Lucas (2-2) took the loss Sunday against the Mariners, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks over 1.2 innings with five strikeouts.

The Toronto southpaw was pummeled again for a second consecutive start, as he tossed 55 pitches while failing to get out of the second inning. After opening the season with 10.1 scoreless innings across two wins, Lucas has coughed up 14 runs in 6.2 innings over his last two outings. Overall, the 28-year-old now sports an ugly 7.41 ERA and 1.53 WHIP with a 19:9 K:BB. Things aren't looking much easier ahead, as Lucas currently lines up to make his next start against the Yankees on the road next weekend.

Brown went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Sunday's 14-1 loss to the Brewers.

Brown provided the only tally on the scoreboard for the A's, launching a solo home run off Logan Henderson in the top of the fifth inning. The long ball was his first of the year, and the 32-year-old is now batting .167 with a home run and four walks while striking out eight times over 24 at-bats in 13 games this season.

Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 8-3 win at Toronto.

Overall, Raleigh is slashing .233/.333/.593 with 14 runs scored, 15 RBI and three steals across 99 plate appearances.

Moore went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-3 victory of the Blue Jays.

The Seattle utility man drew the start at shortstop and occupied the leadoff spot. Moore popped a 364-foot solo shot off Easton Lucas on the third pitch of the game to give the Mariners the lead. Moore is enjoying a scorching start this season, slashing .316/.371/.596 with five homers, 12 runs scored and seven RBI while going 5-for-9 on steal attempts.

Castillo (2-2) picked up the win Sunday at Toronto, yielding three runs on 10 hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Castillo walked away with his 75th career win despite giving up double-digit hits -- including four doubles -- for the first time since April 2, 2024. The veteran right-hander labored through 102 pitches and handed the game off to his bullpen, which allowed just one additional hit. Castillo has not been sharp to open the season, pitching to a 4.44 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB across 26.1 innings. He currently lines up for a home start against the Marlins next weekend.
