Quantrill allowed three runs on three hits and five walks with seven strikeouts over six innings in a no-decision in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Padres.

Facing his former team, Quantrill was spotty with his control, though it didn't stop him from turning in a third straight quality start. The right-hander has been able to limit his mistakes in 2022 with a 3.54 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 17:15 K:BB across 28 innings. The 4.8 BB/9 is concerning, but he's mitigated the damage by allowing just one home run so far. Quantrill lines up for a road start versus the White Sox next week.

Bradish didn't factor in the decision after allowing four runs on six hits and two walks through four innings during Wednesday's 9-4 win over the Twins.

Bradish was perfect through three innings, but he walked the leadoff batter to start the fourth and ended up allowing four runs in the inning. The 25-year-old was fortunate to escape with no further damage, as a line drive from Gilberto Celestino struck Gary Sanchez as he was trying to reach second base. Through two starts this season, Bradish has allowed six earned runs on 11 hits through 10 innings and sports a 5:3 K:BB.

Bundy (3-2) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up nine runs on 11 hits and two walks over 3.2 innings as the Twins fell 9-4 to the Orioles. He struck out three.

After getting through the first two innings scoreless, Bundy got into major trouble in the third after when he allowed the first five batters to reach base, ultimately resulting in a six-run inning. The Twins sent the veteran right-hander back out for the fourth, and he struggled once again, allowing three straight singles before Ryan Mountcastle ripped a two-RBI double down the left-field line. Bundy gave up just one run through his first 15.1 innings this season, but he's surrendered 15 runs over his last two starts.

Perez tossed seven scoreless inning and allowed four hits during Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Phillies, but he didn't factor into the decision. He struck out four and walked four.

Perez scattered eight baserunners across seven innings thanks to three double plays from the Rangers infield. After allowing six earned runs over his first two outings, the veteran lefty has surrendered just one run over his last 20 innings. During that stretch, Perez has given up just eight hits and sports a 13:5 K:BB. Despite the strong run the veteran lefty is still looking for his first win of the year.

Giolito (1-1) tossed 5.2 innings against the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out 10 to earn the win.

Giolito was stung by the long ball -- two of the three hits he allowed left the park -- but the right-hander was otherwise impressive in picking up his first victory of the campaign. The veteran hurler induced 16 swinging strikes en route to a season-best 10 punchouts and fell one out shy of his second straight quality start. Despite the fact that this was his first victory, Giolito has pitched well thus far, registering a 3.20 ERA and 32:8 K:BB across 19.2 innings. He's next projected to face the Guardians at home early next week.

Detmers gave up three runs on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox. He struck out two and did not factor into the decision.

Detmers surrendered a two-RBI double to Trevor Story in the bottom of the third inning, scoring Bobby Dalbec and Christian Arroyo. He later allowed another RBI double to Story, which scored Arroyo again. The 22-year-old Detmers has struggled to find his footing in 2022, pitching five or fewer innings in all five of his starts and posting a 5.32 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over 22 innings. He tentatively lines up to face the Rays at home Tuesday.

Verlander (3-1) allowed two earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out three across 6.2 innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Mariners.

Verlander was more reliant upon contact than is typically the case, though he still held Seattle scoreless through six innings. The lone blemish to his line came on a two-run home run by Eugenio Suarez. Verlander has now delivered a quality start in each of his last four outings, and he has yet to allow more than three earned runs in any appearance on the campaign. Through 32.2 innings, Verlander has maintained a 1.93 ERA and a 31:4 K:BB.

Whitlock pitched five innings, giving up two runs on two hits while striking out nine in Wednesday's loss to the Angels. He did not factor into the decision.

Whitlock held the Angels off the basepaths for 4.1 innings before surrendering a double to Jared Walsh. Just two batters later, Max Stassi launched a two-run homer, tying the game at 2-2. The five innings pitched and nine punchouts were both season highs for Whitlock. The 25-year-old has been very effective this season, going 1-1 while posting a 1.25 ERA and 0.69 WHIP with 29 strikeouts over 21.2 frames.

Cortes (1-1) picked up the loss after he tossed four innings, surrendering two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three against the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

The right-hander gave up a solo home run to Matt Chapman in the bottom of the second inning and then allowed another run on a Vladimir Guerrero RBI single in the following frame. The outing was his shortest of the season, while the three strikeouts tied his lowest total of the year. Cortes now owns a 1.82 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 31 strikeouts over 24.2 innings. He tentatively lines up to face the Blue Jays again next week.

Bubic (0-3) was charged with the loss Wednesday against the Cardinals after giving up four runs on two hits with two walks and zero strikeouts in one-third of an inning.

Bubic threw 10 of his 24 pitches for strikes and retired only one of the five batters he faced before being yanked. It was a disastrous outing for the left-hander, and it's the second time this season he's failed to finish the first inning. The 24-year-old has a 13.14 ERA, 2.35 WHIP and 8:11 K:BB over 12.1 innings this season; his next outing lines up Wednesday at Texas, if he retains his spot in the rotation.
