  • George Kirby SP | SEA

    Mariners' George Kirby: Struggles in neutral-site game

    Kirby (8-6) allowed seven runs on 12 hits and three walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings to take the loss versus the Mets in Sunday's Little League Classic.

    Kirby may not want to stop by Williamsport again any time soon, as he had arguably his worst start of the season in this contest. He walked a season-high three batters for the fourth time this year, and the seven runs allowed also represented his most in any outing in 2025. That was enough to end his four-start winning streak. Kirby is now at a 4.22 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 94:23 K:BB through 89.2 innings over 16 starts. The 23 walks represent his most in any year of his four-year career, which is concerning given he's seen his lightest workload this season due to injuries. Kirby will try to right the ship in a home matchup versus the Athletics for his next start.

  • Clay Holmes RP | NYM

    Mets' Clay Holmes: Grabs win at Little League Classic

    Holmes (10-6) allowed one run on five hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings to earn the win over the Mariners in Sunday's Little League Classic.

    Holmes put forth a fine effort, throwing 58 of 88 pitches for strikes. He's had some trouble pitching deeper into games -- he hasn't completed six frames since his June 7 start in Colorado. The right-hander is 2-2 with 18 runs allowed (15 earned) over 27.2 innings over six starts since the All-Star break. Holmes has a 3.64 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 105:53 K:BB over 131 innings through 25 starts this season. He's tentatively scheduled for a road matchup in Atlanta in his next start.

  • Dean Kremer SP | BAL

    Orioles' Dean Kremer: Tosses seven shutout innings

    Kremer (9-9) yielded three hits and a walk over seven scoreless frames, striking out seven and earning a win over Houston on Sunday.

    Kremer faced little pushback from the Astros' lineup and did not give up an extra-base hit. He set new career highs in total pitches (114) and swinging strikes (21) in the dominant outing. Of those 21 whiffs, eight came via the splitter. Kremer has allowed just one run over 15 innings in his last two outings, lowering his season ERA from 4.35 to 3.97 in the process. He's produced a 123:37 K:BB through 147.1 innings and a 19:3 K:BB over his last three appearances. Kremer is projected for a home rematch with the Astros next weekend.

  • Royals' Ryan Bergert: Fans seven in no-decision

    Bergert did not factor in the decision during Sunday's win over the White Sox. He allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings while striking out seven.

    Bergert coughed up a solo homer to Lenyn Sosa in the first inning but settled in after. The White Sox were mostly silenced until the sixth inning when they scratched across an unearned run. Bergert tossed 62 of 95 pitches for strikes and forced 15 whiffs, including eight with his slider. He's been impressive since joining Kansas City, posting a 2.70 ERA with a 17:5 K:BB through 16.2 frames. For the year, Bergert owns a 2.75 ERA and a 51:23 K:BB across 52.1 innings. He's currently in line to take the mound in Detroit for his next appearance.

  • Davis Martin SP | CHW

    White Sox's Davis Martin: Fires six shutout innings

    Martin did not factor in the decision during Sunday's loss to Kansas City. He allowed a hit and three walks over six scoreless frames while striking out four.

    Martin retired the first nine batters he faced and delivered his first scoreless appearance since April 27. He did not give up a hit until the sixth inning and did not face much trouble throughout his start. Martin turned in his first quality start since June 6; in five appearances between quality starts, he registered a 5.74 ERA across 26.2 frames. Martin now owns a 3.94 ERA with a 74:34 K:BB through 107.1 innings. He's projected for a home matchup against the Twins next weekend.

  • Jose Berrios SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Yields six runs in loss

    Berrios (9-5) took the loss against the Rangers on Sunday, allowing six runs on 10 hits while striking out two across 4.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.

    Berrios entered Sunday's game having won four of his last five starts. That momentum was brought to a screeching halt, with Berrios giving up two home runs before being pulled midway through the fifth after tossing 87 pitches (56 strikes). It was the fourth time he has given up six runs in a game, with the last instance taking place July 2 against the Yankees. Berrios has yielded 140 hits (across 146.1 innings) this season, which is fifth most in the American League. He'll aim to get back into the win column in his next start, which is tentatively lined up for next weekend on the road against the Marlins.

  • Chris Sale SP | ATL

    Braves' Chris Sale: Works four frames in rehab start

    Sale (ribcage) struck out four and allowed one earned run on three hits and one walk over four innings in his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Sale had another strong showing in the second outing of his rehab assignment, firing 39 of his 56 pitches for strikes while inducing six swings and misses. The southpaw will likely make one more start on the farm before returning from the 60-day injured list in the final week of August and being part of what's expected to be a six-man rotation for Atlanta heading into the final month of the season.

  • Braves' Didier Fuentes: Hits IL at Triple-A

    Triple-A Gwinnett placed Fuentes on its 7-day injured list Aug. 10 due to an unspecified injury.

    Fuentes hadn't pitched for Gwinnett since Aug. 2 before the Triple-A club deactivated him a week later. Following a rough four-start run with Atlanta before being optioned July 9, Fuentes had returned to form in the minors prior to being shut down, logging a 4.08 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 23:4 K:BB in 17.2 innings over four appearances for Gwinnett.

  • Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX

    Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Collects quality start vs. Toronto

    Eovaldi (11-3) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out six across seven innings. He did not issue a walk.

    Eovaldi gave up solo home runs to Alejandro Kirk and Vladimir Guerrero in the second and sixth innings, respectively, but it was otherwise a clean performance for the veteran right-hander. Eovaldi is now up to 13 quality starts on the season -- five of which have come over his last seven outings -- and he sports a 1.76 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 120:21 K:BB across 123 innings this season. His next start is lined up for next weekend at home against the Guardians.

  • Jose Quintana SP | COL

    Brewers' Jose Quintana: Logs another quality start

    Quintana did not factor into Sunday's decision against the Reds, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out four across 6.1 innings.

    Despite yielding just one run on a Jose Trevino sacrifice fly in the seventh inning, Quintana was on the hook for the loss until William Contreras blasted a two-run homer in the ninth. Quintana has logged three straight quality starts and is up to eight on the season. He has a 3.41 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB in 34.1 innings across his six starts since the All-Star break. Quintana is lined up to face the Giants at home next weekend.
