Chirinos (5-5) allowed six runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings Sunday, striking out five and taking a loss against the Mets.

Chirinos held the Mets to one run through four frames before they broke out in the fifth inning. He was charged with six runs for the second straight outing, driving his ERA up to 5.22 through 81 frames. Over his last nine starts, Chirinos has registered a brutal 8.05 ERA. His next appearance is projected to be at home against the Giants.

Senga (9-6) yielded three runs on four hits and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out seven and earning a win against Atlanta.

Senga coughed up a three-run double to Marcell Ozuna in the first inning but settled in for five scoreless frames thereafter. Senga has allowed three or fewer earned runs in nine consecutive starts, registering a 2.98 ERA during that stretch. He's sporting a 3.30 ERA with a 149:59 K:BB through 122.2 frames this season. Senga's next outing is lined up to be in St. Louis.

Rodriguez (8-6) allowed six runs on 10 hits across five innings to take the loss Sunday against the Red Sox. He walked one and struck out eight.

Rodriguez struggled in his matchup with Boston, the team he played for from 2015 through 2021 before joining the Tigers in free agency. The lefty was coming off of two good starts in which he allowed just two runs across 13 innings, and he still owns a strong 3.13 ERA for the season. This may be a blip on the radar for Rodriguez, who will look to get back on track in his next scheduled start, which is currently penciled in for Saturday against the Guardians.

Miller allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Orioles on Sunday.

Miller held his own against a tough team but came away without a win for the third start in a row. Since the All-Star break, he's yet to complete six innings in any of his six starts, allowing 16 runs (15 earned) over 32.1 innings in that span. The rookie right-hander is at a 4.04 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 87:19 K:BB through 91.1 innings over 17 starts this season. Miller is projected to face the Astros on the road in his next outing.

Ryu (1-1) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks over five innings against the Cubs. He struck out three.

Ryu was able to keep his normal turn in the rotation and pitched well despite being forced from his last start after taking a comebacker off his right knee. Making just his third start of the season after returning from Tommy John surgery, Ryu allowed two unearned runs in the first inning, then allowed only one more hit over his next four frames as the Jays staked him to a six-run lead and were not forced to extend him beyond five innings. Ryu's next scheduled start is lined up for next weekend's series in Cincinnati.

Bradish allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Sunday.

Bradish walked a season-high five batters last Sunday versus the Mets, but he bounced back well for his fourth quality start in six outings since the All-Star break. The right-hander is now at a 3.18 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 114:34 K:BB through 121.2 innings over 22 starts this season. Bradish continues to be one of Baltimore's top starters, and he should be able to maintain his performance now that the team has moved to a six-man rotation to build in extra rest. He's lined up for a favorable road start in Oakland his next time out.

Lugo allowed two runs on six hits and struck out four without walking a batter over five innings in a no-decision versus the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

Lugo rebounded from giving up eight runs over 3.1 innings against the Dodgers in his last start, but it was still his fourth outing in a row without a win. The right-hander was also tagged for his eighth home run in his last six starts. He's at a 4.16 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 94:21 K:BB through 97.1 innings over 18 starts this season. He's projected for a rematch at home versus the Diamondbacks in his next outing.

Taillon (7-7) took the loss Sunday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and two walks over three innings against Toronto. He struck out two.

Taillon had performed very well over his previous six starts, allowing only nine earned runs over 37.1 innings. However, he nearly doubled that total on Sunday. Outside of a three-run home run by Daulton Varsho, the Blue Jays mainly nickel-and-dimed Taillon with seven singles and a couple of walks. He'll have a chance for redemption next weekend in a home series against the Royals.

Pfaadt allowed three runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out eight over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Sunday.

Pfaadt was able to avoid taking a loss as the Diamondbacks rallied from behind in the seventh and eighth innings. The rookie right-hander has given up eight runs over 17.1 innings across his three starts in August, and his 20:5 K:BB in that span is a sign that he's starting to get more comfortable in the majors. Pfaadt has a 6.91 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 50:16 K:BB through 54.2 innings across 11 starts this year. He's projected to face the Padres again in his next outing, with that start set to be in San Diego.

Freeland (4-13) allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out one over five innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Dodgers.

Freeland has lost five of his last six starts, and he's given up at least four runs four times in that span. The southpaw has given up six home runs over three starts in August, with the light-hitting Miguel Rojas the latest to take him deep with a solo shot Sunday. Freeland is at a 4.94 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 77:36 K:BB through 124 innings over 23 starts this season. He's lined up to make his next start at home versus the White Sox.
