  • Tanner Gordon SP | COL

    Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Remains winless

    Gordon (0-5) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up five runs on eight hits and a walk over four innings as the Rockies were downed 6-1 to the Nationals. He struck out two.

    The rookie right-hander fell apart in the third inning, giving up three singles before Luis Garcia launched a three-run blast to right-center field. Gordon has been tagged for at least four runs in five of his first seven MLB starts, and he seems likely to lose his rotation spot once Ryan Feltner (shoulder) is ready to return. If Gordon does get another turn, he'll carry a 7.55 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB through 31 innings into a home start early next week against the Marlins.

  • Roddery Munoz SP | MIA

    Marlins' Roddery Munoz: Lasts just 3.1 frames vs. Arizona

    Munoz allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 3.1 innings in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

    Munoz struggled with his control in the outing, throwing just 40 of 73 pitches for strikes. The right-hander lasted exactly 3.1 innings for the second consecutive start and has failed to get out of the fourth frame in three of his past four appearances. Walks have been a big issue for Munoz of late -- he's issued exactly three free passes in each of those three short outings. His 4.5 BB/9 is sixth worst among MLB hurlers who have thrown at least 70 innings this season.

  • Diamondbacks' Jordan Montgomery: Serves up six runs against Marlins

    Montgomery allowed six runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Miami on Wednesday.

    Most of the damage against Montgomery came in the fourth inning, when the Marlins pounded out four runs on five hits, including three extra-base knocks. The southpaw at least managed to hang around nearly two additional frames to reduce the burden on Arizona's bullpen, but the 10 total hits he allowed tied a season-worst mark. Montgomery has been prone to blow-ups this season, yielding at least six earned runs on six different occasions. That's a big reason why his ERA sits at an unsightly 6.44 through 95 innings.

  • Matt Waldron SP | SD

    Padres' Matt Waldron: Continues rough stretch

    Waldron (7-11) took the loss against Minnesota on Wednesday, allowing 10 runs on 12 hits and one walk while striking out three batters over 4.1 innings.

    Waldron managed to get through two scoreless frames before being tagged for a run in the third. He then fell apart in the fourth, as the Twins pounded him for seven runs on seven hits, including two doubles and a homer. Waldron was allowed to return for the fifth frame but retired just one batter before he was pulled after giving up another run, and the final tally against him came after he departed. The knuckleballer has been knocked around in each of his past three starts, giving up a combined 22 runs over 14.1 frames. HIs season ERA has jumped from 3.79 ERA to 4.79.

  • Tobias Myers SP | MIL

    Brewers' Tobias Myers: Inefficient in no-decision

    Myers allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over four innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Wednesday.

    Myers was inefficient, requiring 89 pitches (59 strikes) to get through four frames, matching his shortest start since the All-Star break. On the bright side, he kept the ball in the yard for a third straight start. Myers is now at a 2.87 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 90:27 K:BB through 103.1 innings over 20 appearances (19 starts) this year. Fatigue shouldn't be an issue just yet -- the rookie right-hander threw 140.2 innings overall in 2023 and is at just 122 frames across all levels in 2024. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Giants.

  • Kyle Gibson SP | STL

    Cardinals' Kyle Gibson: Gives up two runs Wednesday

    Gibson allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Brewers on Wednesday.

    Gibson induced three double plays over the first four innings to cover his mistakes. The Brewers broke through for single runs in the fifth and sixth innings, and Gibson left with the game tied at 2-2. He's posted just two quality starts over six outings since the All-Star break, allowing a total of 18 runs (17 earned) across 34.2 innings in that span. For the season, the veteran right-hander has a 4.22 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 126:52 K:BB through 136.1 innings over 24 starts. Gibson's next start is projected to come at home versus the Padres.

  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Tosses eight efficient frames

    Webb allowed two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out six batters over eight innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Wednesday.

    Webb got through his eight frames on just 93 pitches, 65 of which were strikes. He collected 15 whiffs among those offerings and logged his third straight quality start -- a stretch during which he's given up just three runs over 22.2 innings. Webb had a four-start winning streak snapped Wednesday due largely to a quiet San Francisco offense, but he's 5-1 since the All-Star break and hasn't given up a homer in any of his past six starts.

  • Cubs' Jameson Taillon: Dealt eighth loss

    Taillon (8-8) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Tigers.

    Taillon gave up multiple homers for the third time in five starts after doing that just once in his first 17 outings this year. He gave up two-run home runs to Trey Sweeney and Riley Greene in the second inning. Taillon has allowed 20 runs over 26.1 innings across his last five starts, though he's had decent control with a 23:5 K:BB in that span. For the season, the veteran right-hander has a 3.77 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 101:26 K:BB through 126.2 innings over 22 starts. His next outing is projected to be at Pittsburgh early next week.

  • Max Fried SP | ATL

    Braves' Max Fried: Quality start versus Phillies

    Fried allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four over seven innings in a no-decision versus Philadelphia on Wednesday.

    This was Fried's longest and most effective outing since he returned from a forearm injury in early August. Still, his winless skid is up to seven starts, a span in which he's gone 0-4 with three no-decisions. Fried has allowed 15 runs (14 earned) across 20.2 innings in August. For the year, he's pitched to a 3.57 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 119:46 K:BB through 128.2 innings over 22 starts. His next start is projected to be at Minnesota.

  • Aaron Nola SP | PHI

    Phillies' Aaron Nola: Decent in no-decision

    Nola allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.1 innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Wednesday.

    Nola gave up a two-run home run to Orlando Arcia, which was all Atlanta managed to put on the board. Nola's been in a bit of a rut, issuing multiple walks in five of his last six outings. In that span, he's allowed 13 runs (12 earned) over 34.2 innings, but he's now gone seven starts without a win. The right-hander is at a 3.45 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 147:41 K:BB through 159.1 innings across 26 starts this season. Nola's next start is projected to be at home versus the Astros.
