Stripling (6-3) picked up the win in Tuesday's 9-3 victory over the Red Sox, allowing one run on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out six.

Boston got on the board first in the bottom of the second inning, but Toronto erased the deficit and then some with an eight-run eruption in the top of the third, and Stripling didn't allow a runner to get past second base from there. The right-hander has delivered back-to-back quality starts since returning from an IL stint that cost him the first half of August, and in 12 trips to the mound since rejoining the rotation in early June, he sports a sparkling 2.14 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 51:8 K:BB through 63 innings.

Fried (12-4) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over eight innings in a 6-1 victory over the Pirates. He struck out seven.

The Atlanta offense didn't get rolling until the fifth inning, but Fried made sure the game was close until then, and a Michael Chavis solo shot in the second was the only real blemish on his line. The southpaw extended his quality start streak to six with the performance, and since the beginning of July, Fried has a dazzling 2.14 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 48:10 K:BB over 59 innings.

Marquez gave up six earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings in a 7-6 victory over the Rangers on Tuesday. He did not factor into the decision.

Marquez got off to a rough start, giving up two home runs in the first inning to Marcus Semien and Nathaniel Lowe. The Rangers later added to their offensive outburst in the fifth to tag Marquez for six total runs. The 27-year-old right-hander has a 4.88 ERA over four starts in August and a season-long WHIP of 1.43. Marquez has given up a ton of hard contact this year and his hard-hit rate allowed is in the second percentile according to Baseball Savant. He will look to earn his seventh win of the 2022 campaign in his next expected start at the Mets.

Montas didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Mets, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out six.

It was the right-hander's best performance yet since being dealt by Oakland at the trade deadline, although Montas is still looking for his first win and first quality start in pinstripes. In four starts since joining the Yankees, the 29-year-old has a 7.32 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB through 19.2 innings.

Dunning gave up four earned runs on seven hits and no walks while striking our four over five innings in a 7-6 loss to the Rockies on Tuesday. He did not factor into the decision.

Dunning was hurt by the long ball in his interleague appearance at Coors Field as Elias Diaz took him deep for a three-run shot in the second. Dunning's ERA ticked up to 4.19 with the 72-pitch start, although he has pitched to a respectable 3.63 ERA over four starts in August. The 27-year-old right-hander is tentatively expected to make his next start at home against Cy Young candidate Justin Verlander and the division-rival Astros,

Walker (back) didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.

The right-hander was held to 81 pitches (49 strikes) after exiting his last start with back spasms, but Walker seemed to emerge unscathed from this outing. Since the All-Star break, the 30-year-old has stumbled to a 6.31 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB through 25.2 innings, and while much of that damage came in a brutal one-inning stint against Atlanta on Aug. 5, Walker will still be a risky fantasy option until he can string together some better performances.

Brubaker (3-11) allowed six earned runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out eight across 6.2 innings to take the loss Tuesday against Atlanta.

Brubaker held Atlanta scoreless through four innings but allowed five of his six runs in the fifth frame. While he's shown flashes of effectiveness this season, Brubaker has struggled to work deep into games and been hit hard across his last five starts. In that span, he has allowed 18 earned runs across 27 innings while also failing to complete more than five frames on three occasions. On the campaign, he owns a 4.39 ERA and 1.43 WHIP across 24 starts.

Verlander (16-3) did not give up a hit, walk or run in six innings of work to earn the win in a 4-2 victory over the Twins on Tuesday. He struck out 10.

Verlander continued his Cy Young-caliber campaign with six innings of no-hit ball and ultimately retired 18 of the 19 batters he faced. What's more, the only hitter to reach base against him was Nick Gordon off a wild pitch on a third strike in the second inning. Verlander will look to move into sole possession of the major-league lead in wins in his next expected start at Texas.

Davies gave up one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out one over 5.1 innings in a 7-3 win over the Royals on Tuesday. He did not factor into the decision.

Davies threw 45 of his 84 pitches for strikes and gave up only one run against the struggling Royals but was not able to pick up the win. Davies is winless in his last 12 starts and only has two victories on the season despite pitching 102.2 innings. The 29-year-old right-hander lowered his WHIP to a respectable 1.19 with the performance. He is tentatively expected to make his next start against the Phillies on Monday.

Gonsolin (16-1) allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Brewers.

Gonsolin also threw two wild pitches in the start. With the Dodgers up 7-1 after five innings, manager Dave Roberts elected to take the right-hander out of the game after 77 pitches (45 strikes). Considering he's now at a career-high 128.1 innings, it makes sense that the team would be cautious with him in the midst of a breakout year. Gonsolin hasn't allowed multiple runs in any of his last four starts, trimming his ERA to 2.10 with a 0.86 WHIP and 116:35 K:BB through 23 outings overall. He's tentatively projected to make his next start in Miami.
