Woo allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and a walk while striking out seven over five innings in a no-decision versus the Nationals on Tuesday.

Woo continues to flash strong strikeout numbers with decent control -- he's at a 32:6 K:BB through 22.2 innings across his five starts. He gave up a run in the first and fifth innings Tuesday, but it was the Mariners' bullpen that cost him a chance at his second win. The rookie right-hander has a 4.37 ERA and 1.24 WHIP, and he's settled down after a shaky debut in Texas on June 3. With Marco Gonzales (forearm) suffering a setback, Woo should remain in the rotation well into July. He's projected to make his next start in San Francisco next week.

Irvin allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over 5.2 innings to take a no-decision Tuesday versus the Mariners.

Irvin started off shaky, as Teoscar Hernandez hit a two-run home in the first inning. After that, Irvin settled down and came up an out short of a quality start. The right-hander's winless stretch is up to eight starts, and he's still sitting on a mediocre 4.72 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 37:25 K:BB through 47.2 innings across 10 starts this season. Irvin is projected for a challenging home start versus the Reds next week.

Wood (3-2) earned the win in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over Toronto. He allowed five hits while striking out seven over five scoreless innings.

After Ryan Walker pitched a scoreless first inning, Wood held the Blue Jays off the board for five innings while logging a season-high seven strikeouts to earn the win. It was an encouraging effort from the 32-year-old southpaw after he allowed six runs apiece in two of his last three outings. Wood lowered his ERA to 4.57 with a 1.48 WHIP and 43:20 K:BB across 43.1 innings this season.

Bradley (5-4) allowed seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out two over four innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

Bradley was tagged for four home runs, which accounted for all but one of the runs on his line. He'd given up just three homers across his previous seven outings combined, and he's generally done a good job of keeping the ball down with a 1.5 HR/9 even after Tuesday's slugfest. The rookie right-hander now owns a 4.58 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 73:16 K:BB through 53 innings across 11 starts. He's tentatively projected for a road start versus the Mariners this weekend.

Gausman (7-4) was stuck with the loss Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over six innings against San Francisco. He struck out 12.

The Blue Jays couldn't muster any run support for Gausman, who allowed just one run while recording double-digit strikeouts for the seventh time this season. It's Gausman's first loss since May 4 as he lowered his ERA to 3.01 with a 1.13 WHIP and 139 strikeouts (second most in the league) through 17 starts (104.2 innings) this season. The 32-year-old right-hander will look to get back in the win column in his next outing, currently lined up for this weekend against the Red Sox.

Contreras earned the save Tuesday against the Padres, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out three over three scoreless innings.

Contreras has been pitching better since moving to the Pirates' bullpen. After surrendering five runs in his first relief appearance, the 23-year-old righty has allowed just one run over his subsequent 7.1 innings with seven strikeouts in that span. Contreras lowered his ERA to 5.95 with a 1.51 WHIP and 51:29 K:BB across 65 innings this season.

Gallen (10-2) allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Rays.

Gallen didn't have his best against a tough opponent, but he got enough support to join Shane McClanahan and Clayton Kershaw in the 10-win club this year. This was just the fifth time in 17 starts Gallen has surrendered four or more runs. The right-hander has a strong 3.02 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 108:22 K:BB through 104.1 innings this season. He's projected for a road start against the Angels this weekend.

Perez did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over six innings against the Tigers. He struck out four.

The veteran left-hander delivered his third consecutive quality start but missed out on a victory since Texas didn't gain the lead for good until a five-run eighth inning. Perez surrendered seven runs in 3.1 frames in Tampa Bay on June 11, but he otherwise pitched well across five starts in June and finished the month with a 3.99 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 14:10 K:BB over 29.1 innings. A matchup with the Astros likely awaits this weekend.

Brito (4-4) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Athletics.

Brito didn't have a bad start, but he gave up a run in the third and fourth innings, and the Yankees couldn't overcome that deficit. He's come up an out short of a quality start in both of his outings since he was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The right-hander has a 4.70 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 35:21 K:BB over 51.2 innings through 12 appearances (11 starts) in the majors this year. Brito is tentatively lined up for a road start in St. Louis over the weekend if he gets another turn through the rotation.

Hill (7-7) earned the win Tuesday, allowing four runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings against the Padres. He struck out four.

After allowing three runs in the second inning, Hill settled down to hold the Padres to one run over his final four frames as the Pirates rallied for a 9-4 victory. The 43-year-old Hill has struggled a bit of late, pitching to a 5.51 ERA over his last three starts. He has a 4.45 ERA with a 1.40 WHIP and 80:33 K:BB through 16 starts (89 innings) this season. Hill currently lines up to face the Brewers at home in his next outing.
