Miller yielded one run on five hits over five innings in Sunday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Angels. He struck out 10 and didn't factor in the decision.

Miller allowed a run in the first inning but retired 14 of the last 16 batters he faced. He reached double-digit strikeouts for the first time since his MLB debut May 2 and forced a career-high 22 swinging strikes. It was a very encouraging performance after Miller had been tagged with six runs in each of his last two starts. The right-handed rookie will carry a 4.20 ERA into his next appearance, which is currently projected to be at home against the Orioles.

Lynn (8-9) allowed one run on four hits and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out six and earning a win over the Padres.

Lynn faced little trouble while tossing a quality start Sunday. In two outings since being traded to the Dodgers, he's gone 2-0 with a 13:3 K:BB. He's also lowered his season ERA from 6.47 to 6.11 in the process. Lynn coughed up 17 earned runs in just 16.2 frames over his last three starts with the White Sox prior to the trade. His next appearance is lined up to be at home against the Rockies.

Gallen allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven innings Sunday against the Twins. He did not factor into the decision.

Gallen faced the minimum through five innings before running into some trouble in the sixth. A one-out double and a walk put two on for the Twins and a wild pitch moved both runners into scoring position before a base knock by Carlos Correa scored two. Sunday was Gallen's second time reaching eight strikeouts over his last six starts and his first start allowing fewer than three runs since July 7, which was also the last time he picked up a win. Still, Gallen sits fourth in the National League in ERA (3.37), second in WHIP (1.08) and third in strikeouts (157). He'll look for better fortune his next time out, as he currently projects to face the Padres next weekend.

Hill (7-11) allowed six runs on four hits and a walk over three innings Sunday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Dodgers.

The Dodgers plated six runs in the first two innings against Hill, capped off by Freddie Freeman's three-run blast. It was Hll's first outing as a Padre and he gave up six runs for the first time since May 29. The veteran southpaw posted a 5.70 ERA across six July starts and his season ERA has jumped to 5.09. Hill's next start is projected to be in Arizona.

Richardson (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks over three innings against the Nationals. He struck out two.

Following a four-run first inning that included seeing his first two career pitches hit out of the yard, Richardson settled down in the next two frames but was pulled after 66 pitches. That number represents 17 more pitches than he had thrown in any start for the organization since May as he continues to work his way back from a lost 2022 due to Tommy John surgery. It is possible the 23-year-old prospect remains in the Reds rotation for now, but he's highly likely to have his pitch count remain limited moving forward.

Keuchel allowed one run on eight hits and two walks and did not strike out a batter in five innings of work Sunday against the Diamondbacks. He did not factor into the decision.

The eight hits were a lot, but Keuchel managed to give up just one extra-base knock, which was a Carson Kelly double to lead off the fifth. The Diamondbacks would end up scoring that inning before Keuchel's day was over after 74 pitches. The 34-year-old doesn't miss many bats, but his ability to induce weak contact should keep him around so long as Joe Ryan (groin) is out. Keuchel tentatively lines up to face the Phillies on the road in his next start.

Irvin did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against the Reds. He struck out six.

After being handed a four-run lead before even throwing a pitch, Irvin never lost the lead but was pulled with one out in the fifth having thrown 94 pitches. Irvin had pitched at least five innings in eight of his previous nine starts. However, following a promising June in which he posted a 3.48 ERA, he's struggled to a 4.95 ERA since. His next turn in the rotation is scheduled for next weekend in a home matchup with the A's.

Bassitt (11-6) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on seven hits and three walks over seven innings against the Red Sox. He struck out six.

With a solo home run by Triston Casas being the only damage the Red Sox could muster, Bassitt was able to strand the nine other baserunners allowed in his seven innings. The Blue Jays bats did the rest, providing plenty of offense to help Bassitt earn his 11th win of the season. Bassitt had a 5.63 ERA on the road prior to this outing, so perhaps this is a good sign moving forward. His home ERA is a sterling 2.56 and that's where he's projected to make his next start during next weekend's series with the Cubs.

Greinke (1-12) took the loss Sunday, allowing five runs on seven hits over four innings in an 8-4 loss to Philadelphia. He struck out four.

Greinke surrendered a three-run homer to Bryson Stott in the opening frame before allowing two more runs on a Kyle Schwarber blast in the second. The 39-year-old Greinke has now allowed 23 home runs this season, including 13 in his last 10 starts. Greinke's ERA is up to 5.53 with a 1.27 WHIP and 73:15 K:BB across 22 starts (110.2 innings) this season. He'll look for his first win since May 3 in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week against St. Louis.

Walker (13-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing four runs on seven hits and a walk over seven innings in an 8-4 victory over the Royals. He struck out two.

It looked like it could be a short outing for Walker after he surrendered four runs in the first two innings. However, the 30-year-old Walker blanked the Royals over his next five innings, allowing just one more hit in that span, as he tied Justin Steele for the league lead with 13 wins. Walker now sports a 3.98 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP and 104:49 K:BB across 23 starts (126.2 innings) this season. He's currently lined up for a home matchup with the Twins in his next outing.
