Gordon struggled out of the gate, giving up all three runs in the first three frames. Mitch Garver knocked a two-run double in the first inning, and Donovan Solano drove in another run in the third. Gordon has given up exactly three runs in each of his first three MLB outings, resulting in a 5.52 ERA over 14.2 innings.

Mariners' Luis Castillo: Delivers quality start
Castillo did not factor in the decision during Sunday's loss to Houston. He allowed three runs on nine hits and a walk over six innings while striking out six.
Castillo coughed up a pair of runs in the third inning and one more in the sixth. He recorded his sixth quality start of the year and third in a row, but it wasn't a very efficient one. He threw a season-high 114 pitches (72 strikes) and worked around multiple threats. Castillo generated 14 whiffs, including eight with his fastball that averaged 96.4 mph. He's sporting a 3.32 ERA with a 50:21 K:BB through 62.1 frames. Castillo is lined up to face the Twins at home next weekend.

Charlie Morton SP | ATL
Orioles' Charlie Morton: Slated to start Monday
Morton is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Cardinals at Camden Yards, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
After the Orioles parted ways with Kyle Gibson last Tuesday, Morton had been expected to slot back into the rotation during the team's series versus Boston over the weekend, but rainouts Thursday and Friday resulted in some reshuffling with the pitching schedule. Morton is now set to take the hill Monday on eight days' rest and will be making his seventh start of the season. The veteran right-hander is still holding down a 7.68 ERA and 1.76 WHIP on the season, but he's been much sharper over his three most recent relief appearances. In those outings, Morton struck out 12 batters over 9.2 innings while allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks.

After yielding a home run across each of his previous seven starts, Hendricks kept the ball in the yard during this 87-pitch outing but did allow four doubles. Despite allowing three or more runs for the fourth consecutive appearance, the 35-year-old managed to notch his fourth quality start of the season. Hendricks now sports a 5.23 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 33:16 K:BB across 53.1 innings. He is scheduled to make his next start on the road at Cleveland next weekend.

Bassitt (4-3) took the loss Sunday against the Rays, allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks across four innings. He struck out two.
Bassitt got off to a rocky start, surrendering a two-run homer to Brandon Lowe in the first inning. He managed to hold the Rays off the board in his next three frames, though he departed in the fifth after allowing back-to-back hits to lead off the frame, and both runners came around to score. The 36-year-old Bassitt had allowed just one run over 11.2 innings in his previous two outings. His ERA now sits at 3.38 with a 1.32 WHIP and 63:13 K:BB across 11 starts (61.1 innings) this year.

The right-hander lowered his ERA to 3.55 with a 1.23 WHIP and 52:19 K:BB across 11 starts (63.1 innings) this year.
