Carlos Rodon SP | NYY
Giants' Carlos Rodon: Hammered by Cards
Rodon (4-2) was handed the loss during Sunday's 15-6 defeat at the hands of the Cardinals, allowing eight runs on 10 hits and one walk with three strikeouts in 3.2 innings.
Rodon struggled from the start, surrendering four runs in the first inning and four more in the fourth before being pulled in what was easily his worst outing. The eight runs surrendered exceed the seven the 29-year-old had given up through his first six starts, nearly doubling his ERA from 1.80 to 3.49 in the process. Also of concern is the three strikeouts Rodon has tallied in two of his last three outings, though a 12-strikeout performance is sandwiched between. He'll look to get back on track against San Diego next weekend.

Aaron Nola SP | PHI
Phillies' Aaron Nola: Denied second win
Nola registered a no-decision during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks with eight strikeouts in seven innings.
Nola was staked to an early four-run lead, permitting a run apiece in the third and fourth innings, and departed with a two-run lead. Unfortunately, the bullpen blew the game and Philadelphia has now lost all seven of Nola's starts since Opening Day despite the 28-year-old owning a solid 3.64 ERA. He'll go for his second win with a rematch against Los Angeles on tap for next weekend.

Carlos Carrasco RP | ATL
Mets' Carlos Carrasco: Gives up four runs in no-decision
Carrasco allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two in 4.1 innings in Sunday's loss to the Mariners. He didn't factor into the decision.
Carrasco logged quality starts in his last two outings, allowing just two runs in 14.2 innings during that time. He was unable to generate the same success Sunday, but he wasn't charged with the loss since the Mets put up five runs over the first four innings. In spite of his struggles against Seattle, Carrasco has bounced back early in the season after he posted a 6.04 ERA in 53.2 innings last year. Over his first seven starts in 2022, the right-hander has a 3.73 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in 41 innings. He tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Colorado on Friday.

Michael Grove RP | TB
Dodgers' Michael Grove: Goes 3.2 strong innings in debut
Grove didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 5-4 win over Philadelphia, allowing four unearned runs on four hits and three walks with three strikeouts in 3.2 innings.
Making his big-league debut, Grove pitched well aside from the second inning, when a Gavin Lux error extended the inning and led to four unearned runs crossing the plate. The 25-year-old tossed 43 of 70 pitches for strikes and induced eight swinging strikes, though nearly one walk per inning is a bit concerning. It's unclear if Grove did enough to stick with the team for another start.

Jose Quintana SP | COL
Pirates' Jose Quintana: Throws seven scoreless innings
Quintana allowed three hits and a walk while striking out five in seven scoreless innings during Sunday's win over the Reds. He didn't factor into the decision.
Neither team was able to generate much offensive production during Sunday's matchup, so Quintana was forced to settle for the no-decision. The southpaw has now posted a 1.17 ERA in 23 innings over his last four starts, but he's earned just one win during that time. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Cardinals on Saturday.

Justin Steele SP | CHC
Cubs' Justin Steele: Whiffs 10 in no-decision
Steele didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 3-2 win over Arizona, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks with 10 strikeouts in six innings.
Steele submitted his best game by far, encountering trouble only when a two-out hit and error plated two runs in the fourth inning. The outing was the 26-year-old's first going more than five innings, and the 10 whiffs equaled his total from the last four games combined. Steele is slated for a rematch with Arizona next weekend.

Hunter Greene SP | CIN
Reds' Hunter Greene: Logs 7.1 no-hit frames, takes loss
Greene (1-6) allowed a run on no hits and five walks while striking out nine in 7.1 innings to take the loss Sunday against the Pirates.
Greene and Art Warren combined to throw a no-hitter during Sunday's matchup, but the pair walked the bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth inning before Pittsburgh scored on a groundout. As a result, the Reds became the sixth team in MLB history to lose while throwing a no-hitter. However, it was encouraging to see Greene bounce back after he had posted a 10.22 ERA and 2.27 WHIP in 12.1 innings over his last three starts. The righty will attempt to remain effective in his next start, when he tentatively lines up to face Toronto on the road Saturday.
-
Patrick Corbin SP | TOR
Nationals' Patrick Corbin: Charged with sixth loss
Corbin (0-6) allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five in six innings to take the loss Sunday against the Astros.
Corbin held the Mets scoreless in five innings during his last outing and held the Astros without a run over the first four frames in Sunday's matchup. However, he gave up three homers over the next three innings and took his sixth loss in eight starts this season. The 32-year-old now has a 6.28 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in 38.2 innings to begin the year. Corbin tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Milwaukee on Saturday.

Joe Musgrove SP | SD
Padres' Joe Musgrove: Another no-decision
Musgrove gave up three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks over six innings during Sunday's 7-3 win over Atlanta in 11 innings. He had six strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.
Atlanta tallied one run via a throwing error during the second inning, and the only runs Musgrove was responsible for in the contest came via a two-run home run from Dansby Swanson during the fourth frame. The right-hander otherwise held Atlanta to four singles, and he has yet to surrender more than two earned runs in any of his seven starts this season. Musgrove will carry a 2.20 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 47:6 K:BB into his next outing, which tentatively lines up for next weekend in San Francisco.

Kyle Wright SP | CHC
Braves' Kyle Wright: Rebounds with quality start
Wright allowed three runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks over 6.1 innings during Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Pares in 11 innings. He had nine strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.
The right-hander surrendered six runs his last time out but bounced back Sunday by generating 14 swinging strikes on 86 total pitches. The Atlanta infield struggled defensively with three errors on the day, leading to two unearned runs for Wright, which may have also cost him a shot at the win. He's without a victory in his past three starts and has a 2.79 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 50:13 K:BB across 42 innings this season.
