Detmers allowed one run on eight hits and struck out two without walking a batter over six innings in a no-decision versus the Phillies on Friday.

Detmers has logged four straight quality starts, giving up just two runs over 26 innings with a 24:5 K:BB in that span. He pitched well enough to win Friday, but the Angels' bullpen didn't protect the lead. Detmers is now at a 3.54 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 174:44 K:BB through 155 innings over 27 starts this season, including 12 quality starts. He's projected to make his next start at Pittsburgh, assuming the Angels continue with a six-man rotation into September.

Skubal didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 win over the Tigers, allowing one run on four hits over six innings. He struck out seven without walking a batter.

Returning to Comerica Park for the first time since Detroit traded the ace left-hander to the Dodgers, Skubal controlled his emotions and fired 56 of 83 pitches for strikes in a sharp performance, but Los Angeles didn't push across the winning run until the eighth inning. Over five August outings for his new club, Skubal sports a 3.00 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB in 30 innings with four quality starts, but only one win. He'll look for his ninth win of the year in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Cardinals.

Peterson didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 10-8 loss to the Reds, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out six.

The southpaw left the mound after 88 pitches (54 strikes) with the Cubs holding a 3-2 lead, but Trent Thornton immediately coughed it up in the top of the sixth once Peterson was out of the game. Peterson has given up more than two earned runs just once in his last nine outings, posting a 2.35 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 41:19 K:BB over 46 innings during that span. He's set to make his next start at home next week against the Brewers.

McClanahan (10-6) earned the win against the Padres on Friday, allowing four runs (three earned) on three hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

McClanahan opened with four scoreless frames before losing steam, departing an out shy of a quality start after allowing a homer in the sixth. It marks the first time the 29-year-old has reached 80 pitches since returning from the injured list Aug. 17, a three-start stretch in which he's yielded six earned runs with a 12:3 K:BB. He'll take a 3.19 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 103:38 K:BB across 113 innings into a home matchup with the Mets next week.

Mize (5-8) took the loss against the Rays on Friday, allowing seven runs (two earned) on six hits and one walk with one strikeout over five innings.

Mize was mostly undone by a five-run fourth inning that included his own error. While he was healthy enough to throw 77 pitches after dealing with an ankle sprain, the 29-year-old generated just one whiff as his velocity was down a tick on each of his offerings. He owns a 3.45 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 96:27 K:BB across 109.2 innings this season and appears in line to face the Yankees at home next weekend.

Lowder (6-8) picked up the win Friday, giving up three runs on six hits over five innings in a 10-8 victory over the Cubs. He struck out five without walking a batter.

Chicago grabbed a 3-0 lead after Michael Busch launched a two-run shot off Lowder in the third inning, but the right-hander held on long enough for Cincinnati's offense to come roaring back and take the lead for good in the top of the sixth. Lowder has worked at least five innings in seven straight starts, going 3-1 over that span with a 4.05 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 27:8 K:BB in 40 innings. He'll look to build on this effort in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Padres.

Scott (4-4) took the loss against the Astros on Friday, allowing three runs on one hit and five walks with two strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Scott battled despite throwing just 58 of 96 pitches for strikes and matching a season high with five walks. It ends an ugly August for the 27-year-old, who allowed at least three earned runs in each of his five outings while posting a 6.04 ERA overall. He'll carry a 3.80 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 113:44 K :BB across 94.2 innings this season into a road matchup with the Rays next week.

Brown (4-3) earned the win against the Mets on Friday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with 10 strikeouts over 6.2 innings.

Brown delivered his first double-digit strikeout performance of the campaign, generating 14 whiffs on 102 pitches and working into the seventh inning for the second time in 15 starts. It also broke a streak of five straight outings in which the 28-year-old allowed a home run, and he'll end August with a solid 3.18 ERA over 28.1 innings. He owns a 3.33 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 86:44 K:BB across 81 frames this season and lines up for a home matchup with the White Sox next week.

Sugano (12-8) took the loss against Atlanta on Friday, allowing six runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out four across four innings.

It was another tough outing for Sugano, who has given up at least five earned runs in each of his last three outings, with the 10 hits allowed being his most in a game since Aug. 31, 2025 against the Giants. Sugano has taken the loss in four of his last five outings, recording an 8.61 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB over 23 innings in that span. He's tentatively slated to take on the Orioles at home next week.

Bibee (5-14) took the loss against the Royals on Friday, allowing one run on seven hits and two walks with five strikeouts over six innings.

Bibee allowed a run in the fifth inning and delivered his third straight quality start but was outdueled by Michael Wacha. The 27-year-old Bibee is now tied with Shane Baz for the major-league lead in losses, though he's pitched better than his record would indicate. He owns a 3.88 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 128:46 K:BB across 162.1 innings this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Blue Jays next week.
