Lewis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Lewis has four homers over 12 games since he returned from a stint with Triple-A St. Paul. He's also hitting .283 (13-for-46) in that span, which suggests his time in the minors helped him reset. For the season, Lewis is sporting a .200 average, .655 OPS, seven homers, 21 RBI, 18 runs scored, five doubles and four stolen bases over 43 contests at the big-league level.

Prielipp (2-5) allowed six runs (three earned) on nine hits and three walks while striking out four over six innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Prielipp threw 63 of 97 pitches for strikes. It was a quality start by definition, but it wasn't a particularly good outing for the rookie left-hander, who had allowed four or more earned runs in four of his last five starts entering Friday's game. He's at a 5.17 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 55:23 K:BB through 55.2 innings over his first 11 major-league starts. Prielipp is tentatively lined up for a tough home start versus the Dodgers in his next outing.

Gausman (4-5) took the loss Friday against the Cubs, allowing seven runs on seven hits and four walks over two innings. He struck out three.

It was a disaster of an opening frame for Gausman, who walked the first two batters he faced before eventually giving up a grand slam to Carson Kelly as part of a seven-run inning. It's the third time in the right-hander's last four starts that he's allowed four or more runs, and he's surrendered five homers during that span. The poor showing boosted Gausman's ERA by more than a half run to 4.04 to go along with a 1.13 WHIP and 89:20 K:BB over 87 innings this year.

Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Rodriguez homered in the ninth inning to keep the Mariners from getting shut out. It's encouraging that the 25-year-old was able to play the full game in center field after exiting Wednesday's contest due to hamstring spasms, which also forced him to sit Thursday. It's unclear if he'll get any rest in the coming days, but he should be good to handle a starting role in the long run. Friday's long ball was his first since June 2, and Rodriguez is now batting .249 with a .745 OPS, 14 homers, 37 RBI, 41 runs scored, nine stolen bases and 15 doubles over 76 games this season.

Castillo allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits and struck out four without walking a batter over four innings of relief in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Castillo wasn't tagged with the loss, as that went to Bryce Miller. The Mariners' offense didn't give much support to either pitcher, but Castillo didn't do his part to keep the game close after a four-run seventh inning. He has now allowed 11 runs (seven earned) across 15.1 innings in June. Both Castillo and Miller are expected to work in traditional starts at some point during the Mariners' six-game road trip next week.

Miller (3-1) allowed one run on three hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over five innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Red Sox.

Miller was strong again, throwing 46 of 66 pitches for strikes in a planned short start with Luis Castillo working in the long-relief role. However, the Mariners got no-hit through 6.1 innings and didn't score until the ninth, leaving Miller with no run support in a hard-luck loss. The right-hander is now at a 1.58 ERA, 0.70 WHIP and 43:5 K:BB over 40 innings through seven appearances (six starts) this season. The Mariners plan to have all of their starters work in a tandem situation at least once prior to the All-Star break. With Miller getting his done now, he should see something closer to a traditional starter's workload in his next outing.

Durbin went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and three total runs scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Mariners.

Durbin has five homers this season, four of which have come over his last seven games. The third baseman is batting .271 (13-for-48) in June, but he's at just .203 with a .609 OPS on the year. He's added 28 RBI, 25 runs scored, five stolen bases, 13 doubles and a triple over 66 contests as the Red Sox's primary starter at third base.

Suarez (3-3) allowed one hit and three walks while striking out five over 6.2 scoreless innings to earn the win Friday over the Mariners.

Suarez didn't allow a hit until Josh Naylor's one-out double in the seventh inning. After ending May in shaky form, Suarez has allowed just three runs over 18 innings while posting an 18:5 K:BB across three starts in June. The southpaw has a 2.93 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 75:24 K:BB through 76.2 innings across 14 starts this season, including six scoreless outings. He is lined up to make his next start in Colorado.

Langford went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and two RBI in Friday's 9-7 win over the Padres.

Langford gave the Rangers the lead in the fourth with an RBI double before providing some insurance with a solo homer in the eighth. The 24-year-old has played well since returning from the injured list June 5, hitting .288 with seven extra-base hits, seven RBI, nine runs scored and a stolen base across 13 games. For the year, he's slashing .258/.300/.447 with five home runs, 11 RBI, 18 runs scored and four steals over 140 plate appearances.

Latz earned the save in Friday's 9-7 win over the Padres, allowing one hit in 1.1 scoreless innings. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.

Latz was called on to relieve Jakob Junis in a one-run game in the eighth inning and recorded the final out of the frame before closing things out in the ninth. The southpaw has now secured a save in each of his past eight appearances, allowing just one earned run during that stretch. On the year, he owns a 1.56 ERA, 0.61 WHIP and 35:7 K:BB across 34.2 innings while converting 13 of 15 save opportunities.
