Ferguson (2-1) gave up two runs on three hits and a walk and struck out two in one inning, taking the loss Sunday versus the Rockies.

Ferguson allowed a two-run homer to Matt Kemp in the eighth inning, and the Dodgers were unable to cover that damage. The 24-year-old Ferguson was also charged with a blown save, his second of the year. He's amassed four holds with a 3.31 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 23:3 K:BB across 16.1 innings.

Almonte (3-0) pitched a perfect seventh inning and struck out one, earning the win Sunday versus the Dodgers.

Almonte entered the gave with the Rockies down a run, but Matt Kemp's two-run homer in the eighth gave them a one-run lead. The 26-year-old Almonte has had a solid year, with a 3.05 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 19 strikeouts across 20.2 innings this season. He's also added a save and three holds.

Bard allowed two walks and struck out one over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Dodgers.

Bard needed 26 pitches to navigate the outing, but he was able to record a save for the second consecutive game. The right-hander now has a 3.50 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB across 18 innings this season. He seems to have strengthened his grasp on the closer role -- both Carlos Estevez and Mychal Givens pitched before Bard in Sunday's contest.

Antone allowed one run on five hits and two walks across five innings during Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Pirates. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

It marked the strongest outing of the season for Antone, who has both started and pitched out of the bullpen across eight appearances. His lone blemish was a two-out RBI single by Bryan Reynolds in the third. The right-hander was in line to get the first win of his career, but Raisel Iglesias blew the save in the ninth inning. It's unclear if Antone will get another start or if he'll return to a relief role going forward.

Young (1-3) allowed three runs on seven hits across 5.1 innings Sunday, striking out three and taking the loss against the Giants.

The only damage against Young on Sunday came via the long ball; he coughed up a solo shot to Chadwick Tromp in the third inning and a two-run homer to Donovan Solano in the sixth before hitting the showers. The 26-year-old southpaw owns a 4.59 ERA and 31:10 K:BB on the season. Young will face the Mariners at home Saturday.

Rogers struck out two batters in a perfect ninth inning Sunday, earning the save in a 4-2 win over Arizona.

Rogers needed just 12 pitches to cruise through the ninth inning Sunday and pick up us third save of the season. It was a promising outing for the 29-year-old after he'd allowed three runs over his previous two appearances, including a blown save chance on Wednesday. Still, Rogers is sporting a 6.00 ERA across 21 innings this season.

Iglesias allowed two runs, one earned, in Sunday's loss to the Pirates. He was asked to get five outs and came up one short, allowing three hits.

Manager David Bell had a quick hook with Michael Lorenzen in the eighth inning, pulling him with one out and two on after only six pitches, hoping that Iglesias could take care of the final five outs. He got out of the eighth inning fine, but he gave up three singles to begin the ninth to tie the game, and then a sacrifice fly to end the game. Archie Bradley was warming up in the ninth but never called upon. With the Reds off Monday, Iglesias will probably still get the next save chance.

Hudson (2-2) gave up three runs on five hits and two walks over five innings in a win over the Cubs on Sunday. He struck out four.

The runs against Hudson came early, as Anthony Rizzo hit a solo shot in the first and Jason Kipnis added a two-run blast in the second. Hudson finished with 101 pitches (57 strikes) in a somewhat inefficient effort. The right-hander has a 3.19 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 27:9 K:BB across six starts spanning 31 innings. Hudson's next start is expected to be Friday versus the Reds.

Young (1-3) picked up the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out three over 5.1 innings in a 4-2 loss to the Giants.

Young made Arizona's two-run first inning hold up through five innings but could not get the support of the offense to survive a slip-up in the sixth. The Diamondbacks' bats left the bases loaded in the fifth and sixth innings while going 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position. He's yet to allow more than three earned runs in any of his five starts, but the left-hander has not been supported well. In 23.2 innings as a starter, the Diamondbacks have given Young just six runs of support (2.28 runs per nine innings) while he was in the game. Young's next start should come during the weekend series against the Mariners, either Friday or Saturday.
