  • Alex Cobb SP | DET

    Giants' Alex Cobb: Strikes out seven in no-decision

    Cobb allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven in five-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Tuesday.

    Cobb gave up Juan Soto's first home run as a Padre in the fourth inning. In the sixth, Cobb put three straight batters on base and was charged with two runs in the frame as reliever Yunior Marte let an inherited runner score. This was a setback for Cobb, who had completed at least six innings in five of his last six starts. The right-hander owns a 4.15 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 100:28 K:BB across 93.1 innings through 18 outings this year. He's projected for a home start versus the Diamondbacks next week in the first of a likely two-step.

  • Joe Musgrove SP | SD

    Padres' Joe Musgrove: Strong in no-decision

    Musgrove allowed a run on six hits and a hit batsman while striking out four over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Tuesday.

    Musgrove pitched well enough to win, but Josh Hader blew the save. The poor luck extended Musgrove's winless streak to eight straight starts, though Tuesday's outing counted as his fourth quality start in that span. The right-hander owns a 2.91 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 124:28 K:BB through 127 innings across 20 starts this year. He's projected for a favorable road start in Miami in what will likely be a two-start week.

  • Joe Ryan SP | MIN

    Twins' Joe Ryan: Handed fifth loss

    Ryan (8-5) took the loss during Tuesday's 10-3 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing six runs (five earned) on nine hits and one walk with four strikeouts in five innings.

    Ryan surrendered runs in each of his first four innings to fall in line for the loss, matching a season high by putting 10 runners on base. This represents 26-year-old's second hiccup in his last three outings, though he's held the opposition to one run in five of his other six turns since the start of July. Ryan carries a 3.95 ERA and 1.13 WHIP into his next start, scheduled for next week against Kansas City.

  • Athletics' James Kaprielian: Handed sixth loss

    Kaprielian (3-6) allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out six in five innings, taking the loss versus the Angels on Tuesday.

    Kaprielian was no match for Shohei Ohtani, who pitched six scoreless innings. Kaprielian's biggest mistake was a three-run home run to Taylor Ward in the fifth inning. The four runs allowed were the most the 28-year-old right-hander's given up since June 15, and this was his first loss since June 21. For the season, he has a 4.38 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 63:39 K:BB through 90.1 innings across 18 starts. He's tentatively projected for a road start versus the Rangers in his next outing.

  • Julio Urias SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Julio Urias: Win streak continues

    Urias (12-6) earned the win during Tuesday's 10-3 victory over Minnesota, allowing one run on five hits with eight strikeouts in seven innings.

    Urias had his best stuff working Tuesday as he tossed 72 of 90 pitches for strikes, with 16 coming of the swinging variety, and rolled to a stress-free win. The 25-year-old's 71 game score matches his best of the season with all three starts coming in his last three games, during which Urias has gone 5-0 with a 1.09 ERA across 33 innings. Urias' 68.8 strike percentage, 2.49 ERA and 0.97 WHIP all rank top 10 in MLB. He'll look to keep the momentum going next week in Milwaukee.

  • Miles Mikolas RP | WAS

    Cardinals' Miles Mikolas: Nightmarish start in Colorado

    Mikolas (8-9) took the loss Tuesday versus the Rockies, allowing 10 runs on 14 hits while striking out two in 2.2 innings.

    For context, Mikolas had allowed 11 runs in his previous 18.1 innings across three starts, and that was one of his less impressive parts of the year. The 33-year-old right-hander will probably want to forget this one as fast as possible, as his ERA spiked from 2.92 to 3.50 after the horrid start. He's also posted a 1.09 WHIP and 108:27 K:BB through 141.1 innings across 23 starts. Mikolas will look to get back on track in a key divisional matchup versus the Brewers this weekend.

  • Lance Lynn SP | STL

    White Sox's Lance Lynn: Handed fifth loss

    Lynn (2-5) was charged with the loss in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Royals after allowing four runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and a walk over six innings.

    He surrendered only two runs through his first five frames, but a two-run home run from Nick Pratto during the sixth inning soured Lynn's outing. The veteran right-hander allowed 14 runs in his final two starts before the All-Star break, but in four outings since he has a 3.43 ERA and 27:2 K:BB across 23.2 frames. Lynn lines up to finish the week with a start versus the Tigers on Sunday.

  • Rich Hill SP | KC

    Red Sox's Rich Hill: Hit hard in no-decision

    Hill did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over four innings against Atlanta. He did not record a strikeout.

    Austin Riley got to Hill for an RBI triple to score Ronald Acuna in the first inning. Atlanta then tagged hill for three more runs in the third inning before manager Alex Cora pulled him from the game. Hill has now gone three straight games allowing three or more runs while failing to reach five innings and holds a 4.75 ERA on the season. He next lines up to face the Yankees this weekend.

  • Charlie Morton SP | ATL

    Braves' Charlie Morton: Surrenders five runs

    Morton did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk over six innings against the Red Sox. He struck out seven.

    Morton was a victim of the long ball Tuesday. Three of the six against him went for home runs, accounting for four of his five runs allowed. The veteran righty otherwise looked OK, as he walked just one batter and struck out seven while generating 12 whiffs. He carries a 4.26 ERA and 1.21 WHIP into his next scheduled start against the Mets next week

  • Ryan Feltner SP | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Plenty of help in win

    Feltner (2-3) allowed five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Cardinals.

    Feltner wasn't sharp Tuesday, but he had plenty of support, as the Rockies were up 12-0 through three innings. The right-hander has given up at least five runs in four of his 10 appearances this year, including two of his four home outings. He owns a 6.02 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB across 46.1 innings through 10 appearances (nine starts). With Chad Kuhl (hip) on the injured list, Feltner is likely to receive at least one more start, tentatively scheduled for a home start versus the Diamondbacks this weekend.
