Abbott didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rays, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out seven.

The southpaw left the mound in line for his ninth win of the season, but Graham Ashcraft coughed up a 2-1 lead in the top of the seventh inning. Abbott instead came away with his third straight quality start and his eighth of the year, continuing a dominant stretch that has seen him give up two earned runs or fewer in seven of his last eight outings while posting a 1.99 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 36:9 K:BB over 49.2 innings. Abbott will look to stay locked in for his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against Atlanta.

Pepiot came away with a no-decision Saturday, allowing two unearned runs on two hits and four walks over six innings in a 6-2 loss to the Reds. He struck out six.

Neither team got on the board until the sixth inning, when a Taylor Walls error put the Rays in a 2-1 hole, but Pepiot was taken off the hook for the loss when Tampa Bay tied it up in the top of the seventh. The right-hander had to settle for his 14th quality start of the year, including four in five trips to the mound in July. He'll look for his first win since July 2 in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next week against the Yankees.

Skubal didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-1 loss to Toronto, allowing five hits and three walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

The left-hander made a dominant return from the paternity list and ran into trouble only in the sixth inning, when he was able to escape a bases-loaded jam in part due to a heads-up defensive play by Matt Vierling in center field. It was Skubal's 13th quality start of the season, but he's gone four straight outings without collecting a win despite a 1.82 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 33:5 K:BB in 24.2 innings over that stretch. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Philadelphia.

Gausman came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Tigers, allowing one hit and one walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out 10.

Neither team got a run across until the eighth inning, as Gausman and Tarik Skubal engaged in an impressive pitchers' duel through the first six frames. Gausman racked up a stunning 21 swinging strikes among his 96 pitches (62 total strikes) while tying his season high in strikeouts and recording his 10th quality start of the campaign. The veteran righty hasn't given up more than three earned runs in six straight outings, posting a 1.96 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 38:13 K:BB over 36.2 innings during that stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Royals.

Ray (9-5) took the loss Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks over 5.2 innings against the Mets. He struck out three.

The southpaw tossed 5.1 scoreless innings Saturday before a two-RBI double by Mark Vientos ended his outing, and a lack of run support from the Giants handed him the loss. Ray's overall numbers remain strong with a 2.93 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over 129 innings in 22 starts, although the veteran's last five starts have more closely aligned with his 3.75 FIP on the season, as he's recorded a 3.52 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over 30.2 innings during that stretch.

Peterson (7-4) earned the win Saturday, allowing one run on eight hits and three walks over six innings against the Giants. He struck out four.

The southpaw navigated traffic on the basepaths Saturday but limited the damage to just one run, picking up the win thanks to a two-RBI double by Mark Vientos in the top of the sixth inning. Peterson has consistently gotten the job done this season, logging 121 innings over 20 starts with a 2.83 ERA and 1.25 WHIP. His fastball velocity is down to a career-low 91.7 mph, but he's offset that with a personal best 3.0 BB/9. His 2025 numbers closely mirror his 2024 production, when he posted a 2.90 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 121 innings in 21 regular-season starts.

Ryan (10-5) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits and one walk over five innings against the Nationals. He struck out five.

The right-hander wasn't at his best Saturday, giving up a run in both the third and fourth innings before allowing a bases-loaded double to CJ Abrams in the fifth inning. While far from his strongest outing, Ryan has been excellent overall this season, posting a 2.82 ERA and 0.92 WHIP through 21 starts, with an impressive 10.2 K/9 and a 1.8 BB/9. His strong performance, despite the Twins sitting below .500, has sparked trade rumors, though it would likely take a significant return for Minnesota to consider moving him.

Parker (7-10) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on eight hits and one walk over 5.2 innings against the Twins. He struck out four.

Parker tossed five scoreless innings before running into trouble and allowing two earned runs, ultimately getting pulled just one out shy of a quality start. The lefty has now delivered back-to-back solid outings, posting a 3.09 ERA and 1.29 WHIP over 11.2 innings, a notable improvement from the 9.28 ERA and 2.06 WHIP he recorded over 10.2 innings in his first two starts of July. Following Saturday's performance, Parker owns a 4.91 ERA and 1.41 WHIP across 21 starts and 113.2 innings this season.

Liberatore (6-8) took the loss against San Diego on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 4.1 innings.

Liberatore hadn't pitched in 15 days prior to Saturday, as St. Louis opted to skip his last start so that he could get some extra rest around the All-Star break. Despite the extended time off, the Cardinals didn't want to push the southpaw too hard against the Padres -- per John Denton of MLB.com, manager Oli Marmol said prior to the contest that while Liberatore wouldn't be on a pitch count, he wasn't likely to reach triple-digit pitches. That proved to be the case, as he was lifted after 77 pitches (49 strikes). St. Louis seems set on keeping Liberatore's innings in check during the second half of the season, so shorter outings like this one could become the norm for him. He's currently at 104.2 frames on the campaign, 18.2 more than he threw all of last season, when he worked mostly as a reliever.

Vasquez allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out two batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Saturday.

As usual, Vasquez was far from overpowering, notching just six whiffs and two punchouts. He was clinging to a 2-1 lead entering the fifth and retired the first two batters he faced, but manager Mike Shildt then decided to pull him in favor of Adrian Morejon, ending Vasquez's shot at a victory. It was the third straight start in which the right-hander has been yanked having completed fewer than five frames, though he hasn't given up more than two runs in any of those outings. That strategy has hampered Vasquez from getting into the win column, and he's now finished with a no-decision in 11 consecutive starts.
