Griffin Canning RP | SD
Angels' Griffin Canning: Grabs first win of year
Canning (1-0) got the win over the Athletics on Tuesday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings.
Canning picked up his first win since June 9, 2021 and notched seven strikeouts for the first time since May 26, 2021 after not pitching at all last season due to a stress fracture in his back. He allowed runs to score in the first, fifth and sixth -- he was pulled after a leadoff double. The 27-year-old sports a 4.11 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB over 15.1 innings across three starts and should be due to start against the Cardinals next week.

Mason Miller RP | SD
Athletics' Mason Miller: Can't overcome early deficit
Miller (0-1) took the loss Tuesday against the Angels, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out six over four innings.
All the damage against Miller came in the first inning, after he allowed four hits and a walk, which would plate four runs for the Halos. The 24-year-old settled in thereafter, giving up just one more hit over his next three frames. Miller has been hit hard in first two major-league outings, but he's displayed control with his pitches along with major strikeout upside. He sits at a 6.48 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB over 8.1 innings and tentatively lines up to face the Mariners next week.

Martin Perez SP | ATL
Rangers' Martin Perez: Pitches well in no-decision
Perez did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing a run on six hits and a walk over 6.1 innings in a 7-6 loss to the Reds. He struck out five.
Perez kept the Reds off the board for 6.1 innings, scattering six hits. However, the Rangers' bullpen would implode for a second straight night, costing Perez the win. The veteran left-hander is 3-1 with a 2.60 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 24:8 K:BB through his first five starts of the season. Perez currently lines up to face the Yankees at home in his next outing.

Mike Clevinger RP | PIT
White Sox's Mike Clevinger: Hit hard by Blue Jays
Clevinger (2-2) took the loss Tuesday, allowing six runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out three.
Clevinger struggled to keep one of MLB's top offenses off the scoreboard, giving up six runs in the first four innings while failing to record a clean inning until his fifth and final frame. Danny Jansen started the offensive explosion, hitting a three-run home run in the second inning while plating Brandon Belt and Matt Chapman. Clevinger holds a 4.81 ERA and 1.60 WHIP through five starts and is on pace to regress in strikeouts for the third consecutive year, currently sporting a 6.66 K/9.

Mariners' Marco Gonzales: Earns second win
Gonzales (2-0) got the win Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over five innings in a 5-3 victory over the Phillies. He struck out two.

Jose Berrios SP | TOR
Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Tosses seven scoreless innings
Berrios (2-3) earned the win Tuesday, allowing no runs on four hits and one walk over seven innings in a 7-0 win over the White Sox. He struck out nine.
Berrios turned in his best outing of the season Tuesday, giving up no runs for the first time in any of his five starts and setting a new high in punchouts with nine. The right-hander got out to a blazing start, striking out the side in the first and retiring 12 of his first 13 batters overall. Berrios owns a so-so 4.71 ERA with a 1.08 WHIP and a 9.42 K/9 so far this season. However, brighter days appear to be ahead, considering he has allowed just three runs over his last 19 innings and has gone seven frames in each of his last two starts.

Spencer Turnbull RP | TOR
Tigers' Spencer Turnbull: Lasts four frames in no-decision
Turnbull didn't factor in the decision Tuesday in Milwaukee after he gave up two runs on three hits and three walks across four innings during a 4-3 victory. He struck out two.
The right-hander threw 42 of his 75 pitches for strikes and generated just four whiffs, as he was unable to pitch deep enough to qualify for the win after Detroit's four-run second inning. Turnbull surrendered 12 runs in his first two starts of the season, though he's been better in his past three outings with a 3.77 ERA and 11:7 K:BB over 14.1 frames.

Nestor Cortes SP | PHI
Yankees' Nestor Cortes: Handed first loss
Cortes (3-1) was charged with the loss Tuesday in Minnesota after he allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits across five-plus innings. He struck out six and walked one.
The left-hander ran into trouble during the third and sixth innings, as the Twins tallied a pair of runs against him in each frame, including a two-run homer by Byron Buxton in the sixth. Cortes certainly wasn't at his best Tuesday but still produced 13 swinging strikes and kept the Yankees close. The 28-year-old has yet to give up more than three earned runs in any of his five starts this year and has a 3.49 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 28:5 K:BB over 28.1 innings.

Drew Rasmussen SP | TB
Rays' Drew Rasmussen: Falls to Houston
Rasmussen (3-2) took the loss Tuesday, allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Astros. He struck out five.
Rasmussen worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the first inning and held Houston off the board over the first four frames. However, he'd stumble in the fifth, allowing five runs on six hits en route to a 5-0 loss. Rasmussen has held the opposition scoreless in three of his five outings this year, though he's allowed 10 runs over his other two starts. The 27-year-old right-hander has a 3.33 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB through 27 innings this season.
