Dodgers starter Clayton Kershaw allowed one run in seven innings, but he took a hard-luck no-decision, Tuesday against Oakland.

Kershaw has allowed one run or fewer in eight of his last nine starts. He's 5-1 with three no-decisions over that stretch. Kershaw struck out seven, the 17th time in the last 18 starts he's had at least that many.

Diamondbacks starter Chase Anderson allowed seven runs, five earned, over 4 2/3 innings, Tuesday against Pittsburgh.

Anderson has allowed seven runs in two of his last four starts and five earned runs in three of the last four. He's failed to last five innings in three of the last five starts.

Despite producing a quality start Tuesday against the Giants, Cardinals pitcher Lance Lynn was on the losing end of the 2-0 game.

Lynn allowed two runs on four hits over 6 2/3 innings, but received his eighth loss of the season for his effort. He also struck out six and walked five during the outing. He is now 9-8 with a 2.94 ERA.

Lynn is 0-2 in his last two outings. He has received a quality start in two of his last four outings.

Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola allowed three runs in five innings and left with the lead, Tuesday against Toronto.

The bullpen couldn't close out the win, however, leaving Nola with a no decision. Nola has a 6.30 ERA in his last two starts and 5.63 in his last three. He's 1-0 with two no-decisions over that stretch, however.

Nola walked a career-high four batters in the game.

Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom was dominant throughout his start Tuesday against the Orioles.

deGrom allowed one run on five hits over 7 2/3 innings during the 5-3 win. He also struck out six and walked one. deGrom's lone mistake was giving up a solo home run to Gerardo Parra in the sixth inning.

deGrom is undefeated in his last seven starts (4-0). All seven outings have been quality starts.

The Dodgers will send Mat Latos to the bullpen for the next 10 days, per the Orange County Register.

With three off days in the next two weeks, the Dodgers will attempt to go with a four-man rotation. Alex Wood will move up to start Wednesday, in the spot originally slotted for Latos.

Latos is 0-2 in three starts since joining the Dodgers at the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.

The Cubs have decided to keep right-hander Jake Arrieta on his normal, five days rest. Arrieta will make his next start on Thursday against the Braves.

This will allow fellow righty Kyle Hendricks to get an extra day of rest, as he will take the mound for Game 2 of the series on Friday, according to ESPN.com.

Mets starter Matt Harvey may be skipped a couple of times during September, as he approaches his innings limit. 

"There's a chance we might have to do that," manager Terry Collins said, per the Newark Star-Ledger. 

The Mets could also choose to skip starts for Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard, in order to keep them fresh for a possible postseason run. 

Braves pitcher Williams Perez ran into trouble during the second inning of Monday's 5-3 loss to the Padres and never recovered.

Perez allowed three runs during the inning en route to surrendering four runs on seven hits over 6 1/3 innings. He also struck out two and walked four. Perez also gave up a solo home run to Matt Kemp in the fifth inning.

Perez has lost each of his last four starts and is winless in his last five outings.

Padres pitcher Colin Rea fell short of recording a quality start Monday, but he did receive a win during the 5-3 victory over the Braves.

Rea allowed two runs on five hits over 5 2/3 innings. He also struck out four and walked one. He surrendered a solo home run to Cameron Maybin in the fourth inning.

Rea is 2-0 in two career starts this season. He has yet to go six innings in each of his outings.
