  • Hunter Brown SP | HOU

    Astros' Hunter Brown: No-decision in pitchers' duel

    Brown came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 1-0 extra-inning loss to the Tigers, allowing five hits and three walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out six.

    Matched up against fellow AL Cy Young contender Tarik Skubal, Brown rose to the occasion as both aces posted goose eggs, with the game's only run crossing the plate in the bottom of the 10th inning. The right-hander produced his 16th quality start of the season on 101 pitches (61 strikes), and Brown has given up two runs or fewer in five straight trips to the mound, posting a 1.50 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB in 30 innings over that stretch. He'll look for more run support in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Rockies.

  • Carlos Rodon SP | NYY

    Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Punches out five in 13th win

    Rodon (13-7) tallied the win Tuesday against Tampa Bay, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out five.

    Rodon ran into trouble in the second inning, giving up two runs during the frame, but it was a fine outing otherwise. The All-Star left-hander is now up to 25 outings of at least five innings on the year, and he's conceded greater than three runs on just six occasions in 2025. Through 152.2 innings, he owns a 3.24 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 169:60 K:BB. The Red Sox are lined up next for Rodon's next appearance this weekend, and Boston has an uninspiring .675 OPS against left-handed pitching since the All-Star break.

  • Shane Smith RP | CHW

    White Sox's Shane Smith: Works six innings

    Smith allowed four earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four across six innings Tuesday against Atlanta. He did not factor into the decision.

    Smith was burned by the long ball, allowing a pair of two-run home runs to account for all four of his earned runs. While that derailed his outing, he still managed to generate a solid 14 swinging strikes across 101 pitches. This also marked Smith's longest outing since June 10, a span of eight appearances.

  • Shane Baz SP | BAL

    Rays' Shane Baz: Thrashed in 10th loss

    Baz (8-10) took the loss Tuesday against the Yankees, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks in three innings. He struck out three.

    Baz got off to a disastrous beginning, watching Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton lift three straight home runs in the opening inning, and things didn't get better for the hurler thereafter. The right-hander served up a career-high five homers Tuesday, and he threw a season-low three innings as well as 65 pitches before his night came to a close. Baz has a 6.85 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 57:17 K:BB across 47.1 innings since the beginning of July; therefore, he'll be tough to trust in next week's scheduled start in Cleveland.

  • Tanner Bibee SP | CLE

    Guardians' Tanner Bibee: Gives up four runs in no-decision

    Bibee allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

    Bibee has allowed four runs in each of his last five starts, though he's pitched into the sixth inning in each of his last three outings. While he's allowing too many runs to be reliable, he hasn't taken a loss since July 2 versus the Cubs, going 5-0 across his last eight starts. Bibee is at a 4.62 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 129:44 K:BB through 142.1 innings over 25 starts this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at home versus the Rays.

  • Kyle Hendricks SP | LAA

    Angels' Kyle Hendricks: Yields four runs against Reds

    Hendricks allowed four runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out three over six innings in a no-decision versus the Reds on Tuesday.

    Hendricks was in line for the loss when he exited, but the Angels' offense was able to get him off the hook in the late innings. In August, Hendricks has allowed 13 runs over 19.1 innings while posting a 15:8 K:BB, and he remains winless over his four starts this month. He's at a 4.93 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 85:34 K:BB through 126 innings over 24 starts this season. The veteran right-hander is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Rangers.

  • Twins' Simeon Woods Richardson: Set for another rehab start

    Woods Richardson (illness) is scheduled to pitch four innings Thursday for Triple-A St. Paul, the Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Woods Richardson will make his second rehab start after having a procedure earlier this month to remove a parasite from his digestive tract. He threw two innings Friday for St. Paul. If all goes well Thursday, he'll likely be activated from the injured list and make his next start in the majors.

  • Joe Ryan SP | MIN

    Twins' Joe Ryan: Handed loss in short outing

    Ryan (12-6) allowed five runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk over four innings Tuesday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Athletics.

    Ryan worked through two scoreless frames before coughing up a two-run shot to Shea Langeliers in the third inning. The Athletics then plated three unearned runs in the fourth after a fielding error by Darell Hernaiz. It was the first time all year that Ryan did not complete at least five innings, and his first time giving up more than two runs since July 26. Despite the overall lackluster performance, he's allowed two or fewer earned runs in nine of his last 10 starts. Ryan is sporting a 2.77 ERA with a 159:28 K:BB through 143 innings. He's currently in line for a road matchup against the White Sox this weekend.

  • Jacob Lopez RP | ATH

    Athletics' Jacob Lopez: Fans eight in win

    Lopez (7-6) yielded three runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk over six innings Tuesday, striking out eight and earning a win over the Twins.

    Lopez extended his scoreless streak to 25 frames before Matt Wallner knocked an RBI double in the second inning. Brooks Lee and Ryan Jeffers later knocked solo homers in the fourth and fifth innings, respectively. Despite that, Lopez earned his fourth consecutive win and racked up eight punchouts. He's produced a 27:1 K:BB over his last three outings, improving his season K:BB to 111:31. Lopez has registered a 0.60 ERA over his last five starts, dropping his season ERA from 4.60 to 3.28 in the process. He's lined up to take the mound in Seattle this weekend.

  • Merrill Kelly SP | ARI

    Rangers' Merrill Kelly: Delivers quality start

    Kelly did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's loss to the Royals. He allowed two runs on two hits over six innings while striking out three.

    Kelly was nearly untouchable Tuesday, but the only two hits he allowed were solo homers by Vinnie Pasquantino and Mike Yastrzemski in the first and sixth innings, respectively. It was Kelly's second straight quality start, and he needed only 71 pitches (50 strikes) to get it done. He's been taken deep five times in the last three games after giving up five homers over his previous eight starts. Kelly lowered his season ERA to 3.35 with a 139:44 K:BB through 150.2 innings. He owns a 4.09 ERA in four starts since being traded to Texas. Kelly is projected for a home matchup with the Guardians this weekend.
