Manoah allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk with six strikeouts in seven innings in a no-decision versus the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Manoah was solid in this start, earning his 13th quality start in 15 turns this season. His biggest mistake was a two-run home run to Alex Verdugo in the sixth inning. Manoah owns a 2.09 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 85:19 K:BB across 94.2 innings overall as he continues to be one of the top pitchers in the majors. He'll resume his pursuit of his 10th win of the year in Oakland next week.

Alcantara (8-3) allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and two walks with three strikeouts in nine innings, earning the complete-game win over the Cardinals on Wednesday.

Alcantara spent much of the game pitching from behind, but Avisail Garcia gave the Marlins a lead with a two-run home run in the ninth inning. Alcantara was allowed to stay in the game, finishing it off with 117 pitches (76 strikes) to become the first pitcher in the the majors to toss multiple complete games this season. He hasn't pitched fewer than seven innings since May 6. The right-hander owns a sparkling 1.95 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 97:30 K:BB across 115.1 innings in 16 starts this year. The ace will look to keep finding success next week at home against the Angels.

Bundy allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and a walk with one strikeout in five innings in a no-decision versus the Guardians on Wednesday.

Bundy put too much traffic on base in the first and third innings, allowing the Guardians to cobble together runs with productive at-bats. Prior to this start, Bundy had allowed two runs over his previous 14 innings. The right-hander has a middling 4.71 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 47:13 K:BB through 65 innings across 13 starts overall. He's in line for a road start against the White Sox next week.

Keller allowed five earned runs on nine hits and four walks while striking out four across four innings Wednesday against the Nationals. He did not factor into the decision.

Keller particularly struggled through the first two innings of the outing, allowing three earned runs as well as seven hits and two walks. Though he rebounded a bit from there, he wasn't able to work deep enough into the game to overcome his poor start. Keller had maintained a 2.96 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across his previous four outings, though he still owns a subpar 5.14 ERA across 70 frames on the season.

Quantrill allowed three runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out three in eight innings during Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Twins. He did not factor in the decision.

Quantrill submitted his longest start of the season and his first quality start in his last three outings. The Twins did all their damage against him in the sixth inning with a two-run home run by Alex Kirilloff and a solo shot by Gio Urshela. Quantrill has remained a steady starter this year with a 3.72 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 51:25 K:BB through 84.2 innings. He's projected for a road start versus the Tigers next week.

Suarez (6-5) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in 6.2 innings, taking the loss Wednesday versus Atlanta.

Suarez allowed a pair of runs apiece in the fourth and seventh innings. That latter surge from Atlanta denied the southpaw a chance for consecutive quality starts, a feat he's achieved once this year. He's now at a 4.33 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 64:33 K:BB through 79 innings overall. Suarez lines up for a favorable home start versus the Nationals next week as he looks to bounce back from this defeat.

Wright (9-4) earned the win Wednesday over the Phillies. He allowed a run on three hits and three walks with four strikeouts over seven innings.

Wright was a bit shaky in his last two starts, but he returned to strong pitching Wednesday. His lone mistake was a solo home run to Rhys Hoskins in the third inning. Wright concludes June with 15 runs allowed in 38.1 innings, good for a 3.52 ERA. For the season, he's posted a 3.03 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 96:30 K:BB through 92 innings overall. He's projected for a home start versus the Cardinals next week.

Greinke (2-4) allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out three across six innings to earn the win Wednesday against the Rangers.

Greinke allowed multiple hitters to reach base in each of his first two innings of work. However, he settled in from there to retire 12 of the final 14 batters he faced. Greinke has made two starts since returning from the injured list June 24, combining to work 12 innings while allowing only two earned runs and posting a 7:1 K:BB. Overall, he has a 4.38 ERA across 63.2 innings for the campaign.

Irvin (2-6) took the loss Wednesday against the Yankees after surrendering five runs on six hits with five strikeouts and one walk in seven innings.

The 28-year-old produced his longest outing of the season Wednesday, but a two-run homer from Aaron Judge in the first inning and a three-run shot from Giancarlo Stanton in the third saddled the lefty with the loss. Irvin has lost his past four starts and tentatively projects for a tough matchup with the Blue Jays early next week.

Dunning (1-6) allowed two earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three across six innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Royals.

Dunning turned in his third quality start across his last four outings. He's managed just a 13:12 K:BB in that span but has overcome his lack of control and strikeouts. It remains to be seen if Dunning can continue to walk his tightrope of productivity, but he has managed to lower his ERA 4.09 on the season while maintaining a 77:32 K:BB across 88 frames.
