White Sox starter Jose Quintana posted a quality start on Tuesday, but didn't last long enough to factor in the decision in the 5-4 victory over the Red Sox. Quintana allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits over six innings. He struck out six and did not issue a walk, throwing 65 of his 99 pitches for strikes.

Quintana actually left the game with the White Sox trailing 4-2. But the White Sox were able to put together a three-run rally in the bottom of the seventh, en route to the win. 

The left-hander has been rather consistent lately, going 2-1 with a 3.89 ERA over his last six starts.

After a pair of impressive outings, Red Sox starter Wade Miley reverted back to his earlier struggles in his latest start. On Tuesday against the White Sox, Miley allowed five runs on 13 hits over 6 2/3 innings. He walked one and struck out three in the 5-4 loss.

Miley (10-10, 4.51 ERA) allowed a run in the second inning, but the Red Sox took a 2-1 lead in the third. Miley allowed the White Sox to tie the game in the fourth.

Boston was able to grab a two-run lead in the sixth, but Miley allowed three more runs in the seventh, and the Red Sox were out of rallies. 

Miley has been able to go deep into games, as he has gone at least six innings in seven of his last eight starts. But he has allowed five or more runs three times in those eight outings.

Astros starter Dallas Keuchel put his road woes behind him, has he dazzled in Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night. The left-hander fired seven scoreless innings, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out nine. His fine effort was backed by plenty of offensive support, as the Astros pounded the Yankees 15-1.

Keuchel (15-6, 2.28) was superb, keeping a quality offense down all night. Coming into the game, the Cy Young Award candidate had been 3-6 with a 3.65 ERA on the road this year. 

Indians pitcher Carlos Carrasco will miss his next scheduled start on Wednesday against the Brewers. Carrasco is dealing with a shoulder injury, which will force him to be skipped, according to Cleveland.com.

Cody Anderson is expected to come off of the disabled list and start in place of Carrasco. Carrasco's next start would be scheduled for Tuesday in Toronto, though his status for that is still up in the air.

The good news Monday night for Yankees starter Nathan Eovaldi is that his fastball was clocked at up to 102 mph.

The better news is that he pitched shutout ball for eight innings against a tough Houston lineup.

The bad news is that his teammates couldn't score a run until the bottom of the ninth, leaving him with a no-decision.

Eovaldi allowed just four hits with three walks and seven strikeouts. Only one runner reached third against him as he improved his ERA on the year to 4.00.

He has allowed more than three earned runs only once since June 16.

Indians starting pitcher Corey Kluber struck out 11 batters during his start against the Cubs on Monday.

Kluber allowed just one run on four hits in 7 2/3 innings of work. He was flawless most of the game until he allowed a run in the seventh inning of the no-decision.

Kluber (8-13) now has a 3.43 ERA in 194 1/3 innings this season.

Mariners starter James Paxton, who has been on the disabled list since May due to a finger injury, made a rehab start for Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, throwing 35 pitches in 2/3 of an inning. 

Paxton allowed two hits and a walk in the first inning, and was pulled before the frame was over once he reached his limit. This is the latest in a long series of steps in order to get Paxton back in the Mariners' rotation, and he will likely made more rehab starts before his return. 

Rays pitcher Jake Odorizzi gave up two earned runs in six innings, Sunday against Oakland. The Rays bullpen couldn't close the game, however, and Odorizzi settled for his fifth consecutive no-decision. 

Odorizzi has a 3.82 ERA over his five-start no-decision streak. 

Taijuan Walker wasn't particularly sharp Sunday, but did enough to pick up his ninth win of the season as the Mariners outlasted the White Sox. 

Walker went 5 2/3 innings, allowing five earned runs on seven hits. He struck out four, but got the hook after just 87 pitches given his struggles and Seattle's desire to hold on to its lead. 

The win is Walker's first since a complete-game one hitter on July 31. Since then, Walker (9-7) has been up and down, with three straight no-decisions until Sunday's win. 

Eduardo Rodriguez allowed two earned runs in six innings and left with the lead, Sunday against Kansas City. The Red Sox bullpen couldn't close the game, however, and Rodriguez settled for a no-decision. 

Rodriguez gave up two runs or fewer for the third time in the last four starts. He didn't walk a batter and has gone two starts, totalling 14 innings, without a walk.
