Wells (7-4) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over six innings against the Twins. He struck out four.

Wells held the Twins to one run over the first five innings, which came across following a wild pitch from the right-hander. He would later allow a second run on a Donovan Solano double in the sixth before striking out the next two batters to end the inning and eventually earned his seventh win of the season. Wells has now allowed exactly two earned runs in seven consecutive starts and has gone six innings in three straight.

Gausman (7-5) took the loss Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings against the Tigers. He struck out seven.

Gausman allowed three consecutive hits with one out in the first, which led to the only two runs of the game. The right-hander was basically lights-out aside from the opening frame, however, and allowed only three more baserunners from the second inning on before being relieved by Nate Pearson in the seventh. Gausman has recorded at least seven strikeouts in each of his last three starts, though he's now lost his last two decisions (spanning three starts) after previously winning five straight.

Manning (3-1) earned the win Saturday, striking out five while issuing three walks over 6.2 scoreless innings against the Blue Jays. He did not allow any hits.

It wasn't the start that Manning was looking for, as the right-hander hit Bo Bichette with a pitch to open the game before issuing a walk to Brandon Belt in the following at-bat. However, the 25-year-old managed to get out of the inning unscathed and went on to retire 18 of the next 19 batters he faced while not allowing a hit. The Tigers' bullpen would take over with two outs in the seventh to complete the no-hitter over Toronto, marking Detroit's first combined no-hitter in team history. Manning recorded a season-high five strikeouts on the afternoon, and it was his first start this season in which he didn't allow at least two runs.

Cole (9-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk over 7.1 innings against the Cubs. He struck out five.

Cole limited the Cubs to one run, which came on a groundout by Nico Hoerner in the top of the third to score Miles Mastrobuoni, over the first seven innings.. The right-hander then went on to retire the next 10 batters he faced before surrendering a two-run shot to Mike Tauchman in the eighth. Cole has now gone at least six innings in five of his last six starts, though he's allowed at least two runs in three straight.

Bradley (5-5) took the loss against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four batters over five innings.

Bradley made it through three perfect frames before surrendering four runs -- three of which came on a Sean Murphy homer -- in the fourth. Though he was able to complete another scoreless inning, the rough fourth was enough to send Bradley to his fifth loss. The rookie right-hander has hit a rough patch to close out the first half of the season, posting an 11.68 ERA, 2.11 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB across 12.1 frames over his past three starts. Bradley began his big-league career in fine fashion, but his recent struggles have him sitting on a poor 5.43 ERA and 1.39 WHIP over 61.1 frames heading into the All-Star break.

Detmers (2-6) allowed seven runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over 3.1 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers.

Detmers had allowed just five runs over his previous 31.2 innings, but the Dodgers' lineup tagged him for three solo home runs and made the most with the rest of their baserunners to end the southpaw's hot stretch. It was a sour ending to the first half for Detmers, who has a 4.31 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 107:32 K:BB through 85.2 innings across 16 starts. He's projected for a challenging first matchup out of the All-Star break -- he'll either take the mound versus the Astros or the Yankees, though either potential outcome would be at home in Anaheim.

Singer (5-8) took the loss Saturday, allowing six runs on 13 hits and one walk over five innings against the Guardians. He struck out three.

After allowing only one run over his last two starts (13 innings), Singer was lit up by Cleveland. He served up a season-high 13 hits while his six runs allowed marked the most since April 30. Since the start of June, Singer holds a 4.02 ERA and a 28:12 K:BB through seven appearances (40.1 innings).

Williams (1-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk over 5.2 innings against the Royals. He struck out seven.

Just one start after logging his first MLB loss, Williams came out on the winning side of Saturday's tilt and fell one out shy of recording a quality start. He set a season high in strikeouts with seven and bounced back from a poor start against Atlanta where he logged two strikeouts and allowed three homers. Through four starts (24.2 innings), Williams owns a 4.01 ERA and 19:7 K:BB, and he's allowed three or more runs in all but one outing.

Paxton (5-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over six innings against Oakland. He struck out three.

Paxton corralled his sixth quality start in his last seven appearances, allowing just two runs across six frames. Both of the runs came via solo homers from Manny Pina and Brent Rooker, and he now has a 1.3 HR/9 this year. Through 10 starts (56 innings), Paxton has given up more than three runs just once and owns a 2.73 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP to go along with a 5.6 K/BB.

Woo allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Saturday.

Woo was arguably a little sharper than opposing starter Framber Valdez, but both pitchers exited with the game tied 2-2. This was Woo's second straight quality start, and it took him just 78 pitches (50 strikes) to complete six frames. While the four strikeouts matched a season low, he's allowed no more than two runs in each of his last six outings. He has a 3.63 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 43:9 K:BB through 34.2 innings over seven starts. The Mariners intend to be careful with the 23-year-old rookie -- he'll likely begin the second half in the rotation, but it's expected he'll be shut down at some point before the end of the season to manage his workload.
