Senzatela (2-10) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one unearned run on three hits and three walks over five innings in a 10-6 victory over the Nationals. He failed to strike out a batter.

The veteran righty wasn't fooling anyone -- Senzatela generated only one swinging strike among his 83 pitches -- but Washington struggled to produce any offense while he was on the mound. The win ended an 0-7 run for Senzatela over his prior nine starts in which he'd limped to an 8.64 ERA, 2.09 WHIP and 26:19 K:BB in 41.2 innings, and while the end result was nice, his performance didn't exactly suggest he's turning things around. He lines up to make his next start at home this weekend against the Diamondbacks.

Falter didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Tigers, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.

Three of the five hits off the southpaw went for extra bases, including homers by Wenceel Perez and Javier Baez. Falter has avoided getting tagged with a loss since April 27, going 4-0 over his last nine trips to the mound while posting a stunning 1.99 ERA and 0.99 WHIP despite a lackluster 28:17 K:BB in 49.2 innings. He'll try to keep that streak going in his next start, which lines up to come at home this weekend against the Rangers.

Quantrill came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Phillies, giving up three runs on four hits over four-plus innings. He struck out two without walking a batter.

The right-hander retired the first nine batters he faced, but things began to fall apart for Quantrill when he served up a solo shot to Trea Turner to lead off the fourth inning. After plunking Otto Kemp with a pitch and giving up a loud double to Brandon Marsh lead off the fifth, Quantrill got the hook after 74 pitches (42 strikes). He had yet to last more than five innings in a start this season, but the 30-year-old has been relatively effective since the beginning of May, allowing three earned runs or fewer in eight straight outings while posting a 3.93 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB in 36.2 innings. Quantrill will look for his first win since May 18 in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in San Francisco.

Luzardo (6-3) took the loss Tuesday as the Phillies were downed 8-3 by the Marlins, giving up four runs on six hits and four walks over five-plus innings. He struck out four.

The Miami native and former Marlin took a 3-2 lead into the sixth inning, but after walking the first two batters of the frame, Luzardo got the hook and watched Tanner Banks allow both inherited runners to cross the plate. Luzardo racked up 32 called or swinging strikes among his 103 pitches, but he threw only 59 total strikes as he had trouble putting batters away. It's the third time in his last six trips to the mound that he's walked multiple batters while failing to fan more than four, but he reached double-digit Ks in the other three outings, all of which were quality starts. Luzardo will try to regain some consistency in his next turn, which lines up to come at home this weekend against the Mets.

Liberatore (4-6) got the win Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four in six innings.

Liberatore picked up his first win since May 6 and posted his first quality start since May 24. The control from Liberatore remains impeccable, as he has just five walks over his last 38.1 innings. He also has just a 6.6 K/9 over that span compared to an 8.3 K/9 over his first seven starts of the year. He's still been reliable overall and will look to take down the Reds at home in his next start this weekend.

Vasquez allowed three runs on four hits and struck out two without walking a batter over five innings in a no-decision Tuesday versus the Dodgers.

Vasquez completed five frames for the first time in four starts in June. Despite his struggles with pitching deep into games, he's allowed a modest eight runs over 17.2 innings this month, though he's also been tagged for five home runs in that span after Andy Pages took him deep twice Tuesday. Overall, Vasquez has a 3.70 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 43:35 K:BB across 73 innings through 15 starts. Walks have been less of a problem lately -- he's issued one walk or zero in six of his last eight outings.

Brown (4-5) recorded the win Tuesday against the Brewers, giving up two runs on six hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out five.

The long ball remained an issue for Brown, who gave up at least one home run in his third consecutive start, but he was able to limit the damage despite surrendering four extra-base hits. It was the third time in the 25-year-old right-hander's last three starts that he threw at least five innings while allowing two runs or fewer, which has helped improve his ERA to 5.57 to go with a 1.48 WHIP and 88:25 K:BB across 74.1 innings for the season. Brown has still conceded at least five runs on five occasions in 2025, so he should be considered a volatile fantasy option this weekend in a challenging test versus the Mariners.

Patrick (3-7) was saddled with the loss Tuesday against the Cubs, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out five.

While Patrick was able to toss at least five frames in his fourth consecutive start, he's now allowed nine runs over his past two outings. The right-hander has watched his ERA climb from 2.84 on June 6 to 3.50 following this showing, but Patrick did fan at least five Tuesday in his sixth straight appearance. The rookie still has a steady 1.28 WHIP and 76:26 K:BB over 79.2 innings in 2025, and he'll aim to get back on track this weekend against the Twins.

Ray (8-2) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Guardians.

Gabriel Arias' solo home run in the sixth inning ended up being the deciding run. Ray had produced eight straight quality starts between April 26 and June 5, and he was back at that level Tuesday after a four-inning effort in Colorado last week. Ray continues to successfully overcome a fairly high walk rate (3.6 BB/9), as he has a 2.68 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 97:35 K:BB over 87.1 innings through 15 starts. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Red Sox this weekend.

Peterson did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's loss against Atlanta. He allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over seven-plus innings.

Peterson gave up one run through seven frames and came out for the eighth inning. He put two runners on base without recording an out and was charged with both runs after Marcell Ozuna's three-run double. Peterson has given up three or fewer runs in seven straight outings, turning in six quality starts during that stretch. His 2.23 ERA over that seven-start span has lowered his season mark to 2.60 across 86.2 frames. Peterson's next outing is lined up to be in Philadelphia this weekend.
