  • Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Continues run of dominance

    Peralta (9-8) threw six shutout innings against the White Sox on Sunday to earn the win. He allowed four hits while walking three batters and striking out six.

    Peralta is on a torrid four-game stretch at the moment. Since July 26, he is 3-0 with a 1.44 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 39:5 K:BB in 25 innings while throwing four quality starts. He also recorded 64 whiffs over that span which is the most in all of baseball. When Peralta is at his best, he can be downright elite and has the potential to be a league winner down the stretch, but he'll have his work cut out for him when he faces the Rangers on the road his next time out.

  • Reds' Brandon Williamson: Allows one run

    Williamson yielded one run on two hits and two walks over 5.2 innings in a Game 1 loss to the Pirates during Sunday's doubleheader. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

    Williamson allowed a leadoff single to Ke'Bryan Hayes before retiring 12 straight batters. The Pirates then broke through with a run in the fifth inning. Williamson has given up just two runs while registering a 15:2 K:BB over his last two outings. His season ERA dropped to 4.33 with a 70:31 K:BB through 81 innings. Williamson's next outing is projected to be at home against the Blue Jays.

  • Mitch Keller SP | PIT

    Pirates' Mitch Keller: Fans seven in no-decision

    Keller allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks over six innings in a Game 1 victory during Sunday's doubleheader against the Reds. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.

    Keller gave up one run in the fourth and fifth innings during his first quality start since July 8. He coughed up eight homers in his five previous outings since July 8, resulting in a brutal 9.11 ERA. Keller lowered his season ERA to 4.27 with a 161:46 K:BB across 149.2 innings. His next start is lined up to be in Minnesota.

  • Ben Lively SP | CLE

    Reds' Ben Lively: Yanked early

    Lively (pectoral) allowed six runs on six hits and one walk over two-thirds of an inning in a rehab start for Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

    Lively began a rehab assignment and was pulled after just 32 pitches. The right-hander had been scheduled to throw 85 pitches, per Annie Sabo of Bally Sports Cincinnati. Prior to the start, there was talk of Lively coming back to the Reds following Sunday's outing, but the short pitch count (and results) likely extends his time away from the majors.

  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Nearly tosses complete game

    Webb pitched 8.2 innings and was charged with a run on six hits and a walk Sunday against the Rangers. He struck out six and was not involved in the decision.

    Webb had the complete game shutout at his fingertips, but manager Gabe Kapler decided to remove him in favor of Camilo Doval after Webb allowed a two-out double to J.P. Martinez. The next batter, Ezequiel Duran, managed to beat out a grounder to shortstop, which scored Martinez to send the game to an extra inning. Webb, who has already pitched one complete-game shutout this season, fell just short of another but has tossed at least seven innings in five of his last seven starts. He has been far and away the Giants' best pitcher, though he sits at an undeserving 9-9 record. The 26-year-old boasts a 3.26 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 157:26 K:BB in 163 innings and lines up for a daunting road matchup with Atlanta his next time out.

  • Zach Davies SP | WAS

    Diamondbacks' Zach Davies: Rehab start coming Tuesday

    Davies (back) will make a rehab start for Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    Davies will be making his second rehab start after throwing 4.1 innings last Thursday for the Aces. It looks like the Diamondbacks may get creative with the rotation until Davies is ready to return. The club cut the cord on rookie right-hander Ryne Nelson, who was optioned back to Reno as part of a roster shakeup Sunday. That essentially leaves them with three starters -- Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly (leg) and Brandon Pfaadt. "Ryne did a good job in some of his games," Arizona general manager Mike Hazen said. "It just was wildly inconsistent for us. We ended up using a lot of bullpen in those days, anyway. The decision was, if we're using a lot of bullpen in those days, anyway, looking at it just as a traditional starter situation wasn't the right way we should be looking at it." Bryce Jarvis, a starter throughout his career, was called up Sunday and will pitch out of the bullpen. Slade Cecconi is up with the team and made one start and one relief appearance. Arizona also has Tyler Gilbert for multiple innings.

  • Ranger Suarez SP | BOS

    Phillies' Ranger Suarez: Sharp in losing effort

    Suarez (2-6) took the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks over 6.1 innings against the Twins. He struck out eight.

    Suarez has allowed just five runs over his last three starts (16.1 innings) though he's still yet to earn a win since June 27, as the Phillies offense couldn't provide any run support in a 3-0 loss. The 27-year-old Suarez now sports a 3.88 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP and 89:35 K:BB across 17 starts (97.1 innings) this season. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next start, currently scheduled for next weekend in Washington.

  • Eury Perez SP | MIA

    Marlins' Eury Perez: Pulled after four

    Perez did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks over four innings in an 8-7 victory over the Yankees. He struck out five.

    Perez struggled for the second consecutive start since his return from the minors, with the biggest damage coming by way of a two-run home run off the bat of Anthony Volpe in the fourth. A lack of command didn't help Perez, who fell behind against 12 of the 19 batters he faced. Perez' ERA now stands at 3.19 with a 1.15 WHIP and 73 strikeouts in 62 innings. He's lined up for a matchup next weekend in LA against the Dodgers.

  • Yonny Chirinos SP | MIA

    Braves' Yonny Chirinos: Hammered by Mets

    Chirinos (5-5) allowed six runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings Sunday, striking out five and taking a loss against the Mets.

    Chirinos held the Mets to one run through four frames before they broke out in the fifth inning. He was charged with six runs for the second straight outing, driving his ERA up to 5.22 through 81 frames. Over his last nine starts, Chirinos has registered a brutal 8.05 ERA. His next appearance is projected to be at home against the Giants.

  • Kodai Senga RP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Fans seven in win

    Senga (9-6) yielded three runs on four hits and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win against Atlanta.

    Senga coughed up a three-run double to Marcell Ozuna in the first inning but settled in for five scoreless frames thereafter. Senga has allowed three or fewer earned runs in nine consecutive starts, registering a 2.98 ERA during that stretch. He's sporting a 3.30 ERA with a 149:59 K:BB through 122.2 frames this season. Senga's next outing is lined up to be in St. Louis.
