Cease did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.

Cease got off to a bit of a rocky start, issuing a walk to Shohei Ohtani to lead off the bottom of the first before then allowing the slugger to reach second on a wild pitch. The right-hander saw one run come home in the frame and was later tagged for another two runs in the fourth after allowing four-consecutive batters to reach. Cease did generate 20 whiffs in the contest, but that led to only four strikeouts over his five innings of work. It marked the fourth time in his last six starts that he failed to strike out at least five batters and the fifth time over that stretch in which he issued multiple walks. On a positive note, he still carries a 2.97 ERA in September and hasn't allowed a home run in three straight outings.

Basso (1-1) took the loss against Texas on Wednesday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk over three innings while striking out three.

Basso ran into a buzz saw in the first inning, allowing five-consecutive batters to reach to open things up while seeing three early runs come home for Texas. The lefty then got tagged for a two-run homer in the third after giving up a leadoff single to begin the frame and he would not return for the fourth. Basso had gone at least into the fifth inning in three straight starts coming in, allowing three or fewer runs on each occasion. However, Wednesday's five runs allowed marked a season high for the 26-year-old, as did the two long balls he surrendered in the contest.

Bradford did not factor into the decision in a win over Oakland on Wednesday, allowing one run on six hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

Bradford struggled with his command out of the gate, allowing two hits in each of the first two innings while also allowing a runner to advance on a wild pitch in the third. The southpaw was later relieved by Matt Festa with two outs in the fourth after the former reached 90 pitches on the night. Bradford has now failed to make it through four innings in two of his last three starts after previously going five or more innings in six straight. On a positive note, he's also given up one run or fewer in three of his last four outings.

Black (1-5) took the loss against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, allowing four runs on five hits and five walks over 2.2 innings while striking out three.

Black had a miserable second inning, allowing back-to-back hits to open the frame and failing to retire five of the first six batters he faced while seeing three runs come across for Arizona. The right-hander continued to struggle in the third, allowing three walks and an infield single before eventually being relieved by Sean Hjelle with two outs. Black's five walks on the night marked a season high and he's now lost four of his last five starts. It also tied for his shortest outing of the campaign after hurling a season-high 5.2 innings in his previous start against the Royals.

Gallen (14-6) picked up the win over the Giants on Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over six innings while striking out 11.

The only run charged to Gallen on the night came across in the second inning after he walked the leadoff man to open the frame before then surrendering an RBI double to Tyler Fitzgerald. The right-hander responded by retiring 14 of the next 15 batters he faced while also posting a season-high 11 strikeouts in the contest. Gallen generated 16 whiffs on the night and it marked the third time this season in which he's recorded double-digit strikeouts. He's now won his last five decisions (spanning seven starts) and carries a 2.67 ERA in September to go along with a 38:11 K:BB. On the downside, Gallen has also issued multiple free passes in nine of his last 10 outings.

Gomber (5-12) took the loss against St. Louis on Wednesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out three batters over five innings.

Gomber kept the ball in the park after serving up three homers in his previous outing, but he was still far less than sharp. The veteran left-hander gave up at least four runs in three of his final six starts and went 1-4 over that span. Assuming Wednesday was his final start of the season, Gomber will finish the 2024 campaign with an uninspiring 4.75 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 116:38 K:BB over 165 innings.

Fedde (9-9) earned the win over Colorado on Wednesday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out 10 batters over seven innings.

Fedde racked up 14 whiffs en route to his 10 punchouts, his most since he fanned 11 batters against the Twins on April 23. The right-hander picked up his second straight quality start, and he gave up two earned runs or fewer in five of his final seven outings. If Fedde doesn't pitch again this season, as expected, he'll finish the campaign with career-best marks in wins (nine), ERA (3.30), WHIP (1.16) and strikeouts (154) while tallying a career-high 31 starts and 177.1 innings.

Cabrera allowed three runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out five batters over five innings in a no-decision against Minnesota on Wednesday.

Cabrera's own error led to two unearned runs in the third inning, and he served up a solo shot to Byron Buxton in the fourth. The most impressive part of the right-hander's outing was his 16 swinging strikes, though they led to a modest five punchouts. Cabrera didn't get the win, but this was a vast improvement over his previous start, when he gave up seven runs over 2.1 frames against the Dodgers.

Woods Richardson allowed three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two batters over one-plus inning in a no-decision against Miami on Wednesday.

Woods Richardson had an awful first frame, falling behind 3-0 after three batters on a home run by Jake Burger. He gave up two consecutive hits after the long ball -- in all, Miami's first five batters of the game reached base against him -- but Woods Richardson managed to bounce back and retire the next three hitters, including two by strikeout, to escape without allowing any more runs. The right-hander returned for the second inning and yielded a single to each of the first two batters before he was given the hook. The outing was the shortest of the season for Woods Richardson and continued a recent trend of abbreviated starts. He hasn't completed five frames in any of his past six appearances.

Martin allowed two runs on three hits and five walks while striking out four batters over 3.2 innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Wednesday.

Martin walked three batters in the first inning but escaped without allowing run. His lack of control caught up with him in the fourth, however, as he allowed a two-out walk followed by a hit-by-pitch and an infield single to load the bases and force his exit. Martin was then charged with two runs when Michael Soroka came on in relief and allowed a two-run single to Taylor Ward. It was the second time in his final three starts that Martin was unable to complete four frames, and he gave up 10 runs across 11.2 innings during that stretch.
