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.

Kershaw (4-2) took the loss against Boston on Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 4.2 innings.

Kershaw's stuff isn't what it used to be, but he's mostly been able to remain effective this season, as he entered Saturday with a 3.27 ERA. However, the southpaw's lack of a put-away pitch hurt him against the Red Sox, especially in the second inning -- in that frame, he got to an 0-2 or 1-2 count to each of the first three batters he faced, but all three reached base against him as Boston scored three times. Kershaw tallied just two strikeouts overall, marking his fourth straight start with three or fewer punchouts, and his 5.9 K/9 is on pace to be the lowest of his career by a wide margin. That said, Kershaw still sits at a respectable 3.62 ERA on the campaign. He's lined up to face the Rays on the road his next time out.

Crochet (12-4) earned the win over the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out 10 batters over six innings.

Crochet endured a rough first frame, giving up two runs on a pair of solo homers. The southpaw bounced back quickly, however, keeping Los Angeles off the scoreboard for the remainder of his six frames. The All-Star hurler racked up an impressive 20 whiffs en route to 10 strikeouts, marking the fifth time this season he's recorded double-digit punchouts in an outing. Crochet now lead leads the majors with 175 Ks on the campaign, and he ranks fourth among qualified starters with a 2.23 ERA. He's also tied for the league lead with 12 wins while registering a 1.09 WHIP through 141.1 innings spanning 22 starts.

Rocker allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five batters over four innings in a no-decision against Atlanta on Saturday.

Rocker had a rocky first inning, walking two batters and allowing a pair of singles to yield a run, but he escaped what could have been a worse frame when Matt Olson was thrown out at home plate. Rocker gave up another run in the second before rebounding with a 1-2-3 third, but he was scored upon again in his fourth and final inning. Overall, the right-hander needed 95 pitches to retire 12 batters, and this was his shortest outing since he went 3.1 frames against Tampa Bay on June 4. Rocker had been pitching pretty well coming into Saturday, surrendering two or fewer runs while going at least five innings in five of his previous six starts, so his rotation spot is secure despite Saturday's clunker. He's scheduled to make his next start on the road in Seattle.

Anderson allowed two runs on six hits and struck out one without walking a batter over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.

Anderson exited the game at 88 pitches (62 strikes), as it appears the Angels didn't want him to face the heart of the Mariners' order a third time. This wasn't a poor performance for the southpaw, but he allowed solo home runs to Julio Rodriguez and Randy Arozarena, making this Anderson's sixth start allowing multiple homers this year. It's also the third time he's avoided walking a batter, but he fell short of the five-inning mark for the fourth time in 10 outings since the start of June. Anderson has a mediocre 4.41 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 87:44 K:BB across 112.1 innings through 21 starts overall. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the White Sox, though Anderson is in the last year of his contract and may be moved prior to Thursday's trade deadline.

Kirby (5-5) allowed two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out nine over six innings to earn the win Saturday over the Angels.

Kirby rebounded from allowing four runs in each of his last two starts. He allowed a solo home run to Taylor Ward in the second inning, which was just the second homer Kirby's given up over his last six outings. The three walks matched his season high, however. He nearly got into trouble with the bases loaded and one out in the sixth inning, but he was able to fan Logan O'Hoppe and Luis Rengifo to escape the jam before exiting at 106 pitches (65 strikes). Kirby now has a 4.50 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 68:16 K:BB through 66 innings across 12 starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Rangers.

Snell (shoulder) tossed 4.2 scoreless innings in a minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, allowing four walks and giving up zero hits while striking out seven batters.

Snell was a bit wild in the outing, as he threw just 40 of 76 pitches for strikes while issuing four free passes. However, he was otherwise dominant, racking up seven punchouts without yielding a hit. Given that he was able to ramp up his pitch count within the range of a light starter's workload, it seems likely that Snell's next outing will come in the majors. If that's the case, his return to the Dodgers' rotation could come next weekend against his former team, the Tampa Bay Rays.

Burke will not start Sunday's game against the Cubs, as Grant Taylor has been announced as the White Sox's opening pitcher for the contest, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Burke had previously been deemed the probable starter, but the White Sox announced late Saturday that Taylor will begin the game on the mound for the series finale instead. It's not yet clear if Burke is dealing with any sort of issue, or if the White Sox simply prefer for him to pitch in bulk relief behind Taylor. That wouldn't be a decision without precedent, as Burke has worked three times as the primary pitcher behind an opener so far this season.
