Trey Gibson SP | BAL
Orioles' Trey Gibson: Wiped out by White Sox
Gibson (1-3) took the loss Tuesday as the Orioles were downed 9-3 by the White Sox, coughing up eight runs on seven hits and six walks over 2.2 innings. He struck out five.
Things fell apart for Gibson in the third inning as Chicago piled on seven runs, including a 440-foot homer from Colson Montgomery that left Camden Yards completely and landed on Eutaw Street. The rookie right-hander has been taken deep five times in his last four starts while stumbling to a 10.69 ERA over 16 innings, and with Dean Kremer (quadriceps) expected to rejoin the rotation Wednesday, Gibson will likely be shipped back to Triple-A Norfolk to make room on the big-league roster.

Erick Fedde SP | CHW
White Sox's Erick Fedde: Plenty of support in third win
Fedde (3-6) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up three runs on five hits and three walks over five innings in a 9-3 victory over the Orioles. He struck out three.
It wasn't a particularly sharp performance from the right-hander, who tossed 54 of 90 pitches for strikes, but the White Sox backed Fedde with a seven-run third inning that decided the game early. It's the first time in four outings that Fedde has lasted five innings and he hasn't served up a homer in any of them, posting a 3.31 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB over 16.1 innings during that stretch. He'll look to build on this effort in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road this weekend in Cleveland.

Noah Cameron SP | KC
Royals' Noah Cameron: Unravels in third inning
Cameron (4-6) took the loss Tuesday against the Rays, allowing six runs on nine hits and three walks over 3.2 innings.
Cameron fell apart in the third inning, surrendering all six of his runs while allowing seven hits in the frame, including back-to-back home runs by Junior Caminero and Ryan Vilade. He returned for the fourth but was lifted after allowing two more singles. To make matters worse, Cameron failed to record a strikeout for the first time this season. The left-hander has now been hit hard in four straight starts, allowing at least seven hits in each outing while posting a 9.00 ERA. On the season, he owns a 4.95 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 75:25 K:BB across 83.2 innings. Cameron will seek to turn things around in his next start, scheduled against the Phillies at home.

Griffin Jax SP | TB
Rays' Griffin Jax: Earns third straight win
Jax (4-5) earned the win Tuesday against the Royals, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out five over six innings.
Jax surrendered all three of his runs via the long ball, as Carter Jensen led off the game with a homer and Bobby Witt added a two-run shot in the third inning. However, Tampa Bay's offense erupted for 10 runs while he was on the mound, giving him plenty of run support. Since allowing six runs over four innings June 1, Jax has bounced back, posting a 1.73 ERA over his last five outings while riding a three-start winning streak. He now owns a 3.45 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 58:20 K:BB across 60 innings and is scheduled to face Houston on the road next.

Joe Ryan SP | MIN
Twins' Joe Ryan: Crumbles in fourth frame
Ryan (5-5) took the loss against Houston on Tuesday, allowing six runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five batters over four innings.
Ryan got through three frames without allowing any runs, but things unraveled for him in the fourth. In that inning, Houston struck for six runs on four hits, including a Yordan Alvarez grand slam. Ryan didn't help himself by issuing two free passes in the frame, with both players he walked coming around to score. The veteran right-hander had a shaky June -- despite posting a strong 43:8 K:BB over 33 innings, he also registered a 4.91 ERA across his six starts. Ryan still has a fine 3.61 ERA and a strong 1.08 WHIP overall on the campaign, and his 113 strikeouts are fifth-most in the American League.

Michael Burrows SP | HOU
Astros' Mike Burrows: Fares well enough to nab victory
Burrows (4-8) completed five innings against Minnesota on Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three batters to earn the win.
Burrows had a rough beginning to his outing, allowing three runs on two hits in the first frame. He rebounded pretty well from there, holding the Twins scoreless over his following three innings before giving up one more run in the fifth. The right-hander logged just three punchouts, continuing a disappointing campaign so far on the strikeout front -- after posting a 9.1 K/9 across 96 innings with Pittsburgh last year, he's at a meager 7.2 K/9 through 90.1 frames this season. Beyond that, Burrows has regressed in his ratios as well, and he now holds a poor 5.58 ERA and 1.51 WHIP through 17 appearances (16 starts).

Bryan Woo SP | SEA
Mariners' Bryan Woo: Collects seventh win
Woo (7-6) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over 6.1 innings to earn the win over the Angels on Tuesday.
Woo had a tumultuous June, allowing 19 runs over 28.2 innings across five starts. He ended on a positive note with this outing, salvaging a 2-3 month, but Woo's outings were mostly against low-end teams. He's posted to a 4.17 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 97:19 K:BB through 99.1 innings over 17 starts this season. The right-hander's next outing is projected to be on the road in Miami.

Jose Soriano SP | LAA
Angels' Jose Soriano: Strikes out nine in loss
Soriano (8-5) allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out nine over five-plus innings to take the loss versus the Mariners on Tuesday.
Soriano was trading zeroes with Bryan Woo for five innings, but the Mariners broke through in the sixth. Soriano allowed three straight singles to begin that frame, and Chase Silseth wasn't able to stop the bleeding after coming on in relief with two runners aboard. Soriano had a mediocre June, giving up 20 runs (17 earned) over 28.2 innings across six starts, though he logged a 33:18 K:BB in that span. For the season, he's at a 3.42 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 111:49 K:BB across 100 innings through 18 starts. The right-hander's next start is projected to be on the road versus the Rangers.

Jeffrey Springs SP | ATH
Athletics' Jeffrey Springs: Tagged for six runs in loss
Springs (3-8) allowed six runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out two over 5.1 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers.
Springs had a rotten June, allowing at least three runs in each of his six outings for the month. He gave up a total of 32 runs (30 earned) over 27 innings in that span. He still hasn't won a game since April 14 versus the Rangers. Springs is at a 5.79 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 80:33 K:BB through 93.1 innings over 18 starts this season. Springs has had a particularly tough time at home with a 6.79 ERA over his 11 home starts, including two games in Las Vegas. His next outing is projected to be on the road in Detroit.

Tarik Skubal SP | DET
Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Strikes out nine in statement win
Skubal (8-4) earned the win against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit and no walks with nine strikeouts over six innings.
Going against fellow ace Cam Schlittler, Skubal generated 13 swinging strikes on 87 pitches en route to his first win since April 18. The outing marked the first quality start in four turns since returning from the injured list for the 29-year-old, who has allowed seven homers during that span while still posting a strong 0.85 WHIP and 30:2 K:BB. He'll carry a 3.15 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 75:8 K:BB across 65.2 innings this season into a home matchup with the Athletics next week.
