Griffin (9-2) picked up the win Friday, allowing one run on four hits and a walk in five innings during a 9-5 victory over the Pirates. He struck out two.

A Bryan Reynolds solo shot in the third inning was the only blemish on Griffin's line, and the 30-year-old southpaw got lifted after 83 pitches (57 strikes) with the Nationals holding a comfortable 5-1 lead. Griffin hasn't lost a decision since May 14, going 5-0 over his last nine starts with a stellar 2.24 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 51:8 K:BB through 52.1 innings. He'll look to wrap up the first half in style in a home start against the Astros next week.

Keller (6-6) took the loss Friday, giving up five runs on eight hits -- including three home runs -- over six innings as the Pirates were downed 9-5 by the Nationals. He struck out one without walking a batter.

Washington launched five homers in total off Pittsburgh pitching, with Keller taking the brunt of the damage. It's the first time since last August the veteran right-hander has served up three long balls in a game, and that outing came at Coors Field. Over six starts since the beginning of June, Keller has stumbled to a 6.47 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 23:13 K:BB over 32 innings while getting taken deep eight times, after he allowed just four homers in his first 12 starts of 2026. He'll try to get back on track in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come at home next week against Atlanta.

Cabrera allowed three runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three over 3.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Brewers on Friday.

Cabrera landed just 33 of 63 pitches for strikes in his shortest start yet. Through 13.1 innings over three starts, he has a 4.73 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB. The 24-year-old continues to fill in for a depleted rotation, and he'll likely get one more start before the All-Star break. That's expected to be on the road versus the Padres, but Cabrera will likely need a good performance to make a case to stay in the rotation once Michael Soroka (glute) is ready to return.

Harrison allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three over 2.2 innings to take a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Harrison labored in this outing, throwing 43 of 72 pitches for strikes before his early exit. It's just the third time he's been held to three innings or fewer in a start this season. Harrison has allowed seven runs over his last 20 innings with a 22:2 K:BB in that span. He's now at a 2.82 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 99:20 K:BB through 79.2 innings over 16 starts this season. The southpaw's next start is projected to be on the road in St. Louis.

King allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out five over six-plus innings in a no-decision Friday versus the Dodgers.

King cruised through six frames, but he put two batters on base in the seventh. Adrian Morejon then served up a grand slam to Teoscar Hernandez, costing King a chance at the win despite the quality start. All things considered, he's fared well over his last four starts, allowing nine runs over 21.2 innings in those games, all coming against teams over .500 on the year. King has a 3.52 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 88:41 K:BB through 102.1 innings over 18 starts this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at home versus the Diamondbacks.

Feltner (3-2) earned the win against the Giants on Friday, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and no walks with nine strikeouts over six innings.

Feltner was given an early lead and ran with it, generating a whopping 17 swinging strikes on 88 pitches en route to his first win since May 30. The 29-year-old has now yielded just five earned runs across three straight quality starts, though he'd totaled just two strikeouts in the previous two outings before compiling a season-high nine Friday. He'll carry a 4.27 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 44:20 K:BB across 59 innings this season into a tough road matchup with the Dodgers next week.

Webb (5-6) took the loss against the Rockies on Friday, allowing seven runs on 11 hits and two walks with two strikeouts over three innings.

Webb struggled from the jump, allowing a leadoff homer to Jake McCarthy while yielding multiple runs in each frame. It marked the shortest outing of the year for the 29-year-old, bringing about an abrupt end to a stellar run in which he had completed at least seven frames in five consecutive quality starts. He owns a 3.66 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 78:24 K:BB across 93.1 innings this season and will try to rebound in a home matchup with the Blue Jays next week.

Holmes (5-4) earned the win against the Mets on Friday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and one walk with two strikeouts over five innings.

Holmes allowed a two-run homer in the third inning but kept the Mets off the board otherwise, throwing 56 of 82 pitches for strikes with eight whiffs. The 30-year-old has now yielded just two earned runs over his past three appearances, including one in bulk relief, and owns a 3.83 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 71:38 K:BB across 82.1 innings this season. It's currently unclear what his role will be for his next outing.

Scott (2-1) took the loss against Atlanta on Friday, allowing three runs on two hits and four walks with seven strikeouts over four innings.

Scott generated 13 swinging strikes on 82 pitches but was burned by two homers. It was more of the same for the 27-year-old, who's surrendered six long balls over his past three outings despite tallying 19 strikeouts across just 13 innings during that stretch. He owns a 3.49 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 60:25 K:BB over 49 frames this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Royals next week.

Singer (3-8) took the loss against Baltimore on Friday, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and five walks while striking out six across five innings.

Singer found himself in hot water early after allowing the first three batters he faced to reach base in the first inning, but he limited the damage to one unearned run that came on a throwing error from Tyler Stephenson. Singer proceeded to give up a two-run homer to Samuel Basallo in the third. Singer has allowed three earned runs or fewer in six of his last seven starts, but his eight losses are tied for third most in the majors this season, and he sits at a 5.03 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 82.1 innings. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next start, tentatively slated for next week at home against the Phillies.
