Miley did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over six innings against the Rockies. He struck out two.

Tuesday marked the 300th start of Miley's 13-year career, and his only blemish came on a Nolan Jones solo homer in the fourth inning. The 36-year-old lefty recently returned from a stint on the injured list caused by elbow discomfort, and he's since surrendered just two runs through 10 innings while striking out seven batters and walking five. However, Miley will almost surely be tested during his next start, which is currently scheduled to come against a Dodgers offense that boasts a .797 OPS on the season.

Urias (9-6) allowed four hits and a walk while striking out five over six scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Diamondbacks.

Urias was back up to a full workload after managing a split nail last week that put him on a pitch count. He's opened August with 11 scoreless innings over two starts, striking out 10 and giving up just seven hits and two walks. The southpaw is now at a 4.39 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 87:21 K:BB through 92.1 innings over 17 starts this season. Urias is lined up for a home start versus the Rockies this weekend.

Freeland did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on eight hits and zero walks over six innings against the Brewers. He struck out four.

Although he allowed eight of Milwaukee's nine hits Tuesday, Freeland's refusal to issue free passes helped him break his streak of four consecutive starts with a loss. However, the 30-year-old lefty was given a lead to work with twice but gave them both up immediately courtesy of home runs from William Contreras in the third inning and Andruw Monasterio in the seventh. Freeland was pulled shortly after Monasterio's homer and remains in search of his first win since May 14 against Philadelphia.

Gilbert (10-5) struck out 12 and didn't walk a batter over seven innings of one-hit, shutout ball to earn the win Tuesday over the Padres.

Gilbert's 12 strikeouts were a career high and just the second time he's reached double digits this season. It was also the right-hander's third consecutive quality start and trimmed his ERA to 3.66 with a 1.02 WHIP and 138:24 K:BB through 137.2 innings over 23 starts. He's lined up for a favorable road start in Kansas City next week.

Sears (2-9) allowed four runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out six over four innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Rangers.

Sears had gone at least five innings in each of his last six appearances before falling short of the mark Tuesday. The Rangers tagged him for three runs in the fourth inning. The southpaw is now at a 4.23 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 117:29 K:BB through 125.2 innings over 23 starts this season. He's projected for a road start in St. Louis next week.

Giolito (7-8) earned the win Tuesday, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks over six innings against San Francisco. He struck out seven.

Giolito claimed his first quality start since July 9 (four appearances) and managed to bounce back from an awful start to his tenure in Los Angeles. In his first two outings with the Halos, Giolito surrendered 12 runs and five homers over nine innings while mustering up just seven strikeouts. Giolito will look to keep the ball rolling in his next start, which is tentatively expected against the Rangers at Globe Life Field next week.

Toussaint (1-5) took the loss Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits and five walks over five innings in a 7-1 loss to the Yankees. He struck out nine.

Toussaint tallied nine punchouts for a second consecutive start Tuesday but struggled to get through the Yankees' order due to control issues. He has now walked four or more batters in six of 11 outings in 2023 and owns a poor 47:32 K:BB through 46.1 innings. Toussaint is tentatively scheduled for another tasty strikeout matchup next time out against the Cubs, which strike out at the eighth-highest clip in baseball.

Bibee (8-2) earned the win in Tuesday's 1-0 victory over the Blue Jays, striking out six while allowing six hits and no walks over seven scoreless innings.

Bibee was locked in a pitcher's duel with Blue Jays starter Yusei Kikuchi on Tuesday and emerged as the victor. Bibee has been nothing short of spectacular since the start of July, posting a 1.70 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP across 42.1 innings and winning all four of his decisions during that stretch. The standout rookie is projected to face Tampa Bay on the road over the weekend.

Schmidt (8-6) earned the win Tuesday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over 5.1 innings against the White Sox. He struck out seven.

Schmidt picked up his sixth win in his last eight appearances and has now gone 11 straight starts without taking a loss. Despite allowing just four hits and fanning seven batters, Schmidt fell two outs shy of a quality start and was pulled at 88 pitches. His lone blemish on the day came on a solo homer by Andrew Benintendi, the sixth long ball Schmidt has allowed in as many appearances. Tuesday's outing also marked his 14th consecutive start allowing three or fewer runs, a streak that dates back to May 14. The 27-year-old is expected to take the mound against the Marlins this weekend.

Garrett (6-3) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on six hits over six innings in a 3-2 victory over the Reds. He struck out three.

Garrett's now allowed just five runs over his last three outings (17 innings) after struggling to a 7.85 ERA in his prior four outings. His ERA is down to 4.08 with a 1.19 WHIP and an impressive 125:19 K:BB across 22 starts (117 innings) this season. The 26-year-old Garrett will look to keep the momentum going in his next outing, currently slated for next week against the Astros.
