  • Jose Berrios SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Yields six runs in loss

    Berrios (9-5) took the loss against the Rangers on Sunday, allowing six runs on 10 hits while striking out two across 4.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.

    Berrios entered Sunday's game having won four of his last five starts. That momentum was brought to a screeching halt, with Berrios giving up two home runs before being pulled midway through the fifth after tossing 87 pitches (56 strikes). It was the fourth time he has given up six runs in a game, with the last instance taking place July 2 against the Yankees. Berrios has yielded 140 hits (across 146.1 innings) this season, which is fifth most in the American League. He'll aim to get back into the win column in his next start, which is tentatively lined up for next weekend on the road against the Marlins.

    Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Collects quality start vs. Toronto

    Eovaldi (11-3) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out six across seven innings. He did not issue a walk.

    Eovaldi gave up solo home runs to Alejandro Kirk and Vladimir Guerrero in the second and sixth innings, respectively, but it was otherwise a clean performance for the veteran right-hander. Eovaldi is now up to 13 quality starts on the season -- five of which have come over his last seven outings -- and he sports a 1.76 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 120:21 K:BB across 123 innings this season. His next start is lined up for next weekend at home against the Guardians.

    Angels' Jose Soriano: Ineffective in no-decision

    Soriano did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 11-5 extra-inning win against the Athletics. He allowed five runs on eight hits and one walk over 5.2 innings with five strikeouts.

    The Los Angeles right-hander coughed up a season-worst three long balls, as he was saddled with five or more runs for the eighth time in 26 starts. Soriano fired 102 total pitches but managed to generate only 10 whiffs while notching five or more Ks for the fifth time in his six post-All-Star break starts. Through 148.2 total frames, the 26-year-old now sports a 4.00 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 130:64 K:BB. Soriano is currently scheduled to make his next appearance at home against the Cubs next weekend.

  • Athletics' Jeffrey Springs: Coughs up five runs

    Springs did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 11-5 extra-inning loss to the Angels. He conceded five runs on eight hits and three walks over 4.2 innings with five strikeouts.

    The Athletics southpaw was tagged for five or more runs for the sixth time this season in this 100-pitch outing. Springs gave up a three-run homer to Jo Adell in the first and then allowed the other two runs on a Christian Moore single in the fifth. Despite generating an astounding 18 whiffs, the 32-year-old struggled once again at home, where he now sports a 4.72 ERA across 66.2 frames (compared to a 3.80 mark in 73.1 road innings). Springs will carry a 4.24 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 114:44 K:BB into his next matchup, which is currently slated to come at Seattle next weekend.

  • Red Sox's Garrett Crochet: Bounces back against MIA

    Crochet didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Miami, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with eight strikeouts across seven innings.

    Crochet tied his season high in runs allowed in his last start, but he rebounded with a dominant performance against the Marlins. The lone run attributed to Crochet came in the third inning via a solo home run by Eric Wagaman. Crochet has struck out eight or more in three of his last four starts, and Sunday's outing was his first no-decision in eight appearances. In 25 starts this season, Crochet has a 2.43 ERA and a 196:41 K:BB across 159.1 innings. He's on pace to face the Yankees next weekend.

  • Ryan Pepiot RP | TB

    Rays' Ryan Pepiot: Saddled with 10th loss

    Pepiot (8-10) took the loss Sunday at San Francisco, coughing up four runs on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out eight.

    The 28-year-old generated an impressive 17 whiffs out of his 93 total pitches but unraveled late in this outing. After blanking the Giants over five innings, Pepiot conceded four runs on four hits and a walk in the sixth. The Tampa Bay right-hander has struggled since the All-Star break, posting a 5.88 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB across 33.2 frames. Pepiot may be wearing down, as he's pitched a career-high 142.1 total innings, which could cause the Rays to seek respite for him down the stretch. He is currently scheduled to make his next start at home against St. Louis next weekend.
