Gonzales (4-7) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out two in seven innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Athletics.

Gonzales received ample support from the Mariners' offense, which provided four home runs. The southpaw's one mistake was a two-run homer to Nick Allen in the seventh inning. With quality starts in six of his last eight outings, Gonzales has provided steady pitching for the Mariners. He has a 3.33 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 42:27 K:BB across 75.2 innings overall. He's projected for a road start versus the Angels this weekend.

Gausman struck out seven in six innings while allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks. He did not factor into the decision in a 7-6 loss Tuesday against the White Sox.

After retiring the side in order in the first, Gausman gave up back-to-back doubles in the second to allow a run. In the fifth, he gave up another run-scoring double and ultimately left the game in position to take the loss. The 31-year-old has struggled to keep opponents off base recently, allowing 43 baserunners in his last 23 innings. His next start will likely be early next week against Boston.

Cease struck out 11 in six scoreless innings while allowing a hit and two walks and did not factor into the decision in a 7-6 win Tuesday against Toronto.

Cease baffled the Toronto lineup, striking out 11 of the 20 batters he faced. He left the game with a 2-0 lead but Chicago's bullpen blew the save and his opportunity to earn his sixth victory. The 26-year-old did not allow an earned run for the fifth straight start, although 10 unearned runs have scored against him in that span. It was the third time this season that he fanned 11 opponents in a game.

Mahle (2-6) took the loss Tuesday against the Dodgers after surrendering four runs on 12 hits with four strikeouts and one walk over six innings.

Considering he allowed a season-high 12 hits, Mahle did well to limit Los Angeles to four runs and keep Cincinnati within striking distance. The right-hander's streak of four consecutive quality starts came to an end Tuesday, and he was charged with his first loss since giving up eight runs to the Cubs on May 24. Mahle tentatively lines up to pitch against the Giants on the road Sunday.

Gonsolin (9-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Reds after giving up two runs on three hits with four strikeouts and one walk over five innings.

The right-hander threw only 58 of his 87 pitches for strikes but generated 19 swinging strikes, as the only damage against him came on solo homers from Jonathan India and Albert Almora. The five-inning effort breaks a streak of six starts of at least six frames for Gonsolin, though he was able to extend his win streak to five consecutive outings. He has a 1.58 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 64:21 K:BB across 68.1 innings this season.

Williams (1-4) allowed three runs on four hits and three walks with two strikeouts in four innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Astros.

The damage on Williams' line came on a pair of third-inning home runs. Jose Altuve hit a solo shot and Yordan Alvarez added a two-run blast, which was too much for the Mets to recover from in this contest. Williams has bounced between the bullpen and the rotation, logging six starts in 13 appearances. He owns a 3.86 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 35:11 K:BB and a blown save in 39.2 innings overall. With Max Scherzer (oblique) nearing a return, Williams is likely to be ticketed back to a long-relief role soon, though he'll remain a top option on the major-league roster to make spot starts when needed.

Urquidy (6-3) earned the win Tuesday over the Mets. He allowed a run on four hits and a walk with five strikeouts in six innings.

Urquidy didn't allow a run until the sixth inning, which came via a Pete Alonso solo home run. This was Urquidy's fourth quality start in his last six outings. He's still giving up a homer per start, having now allowed 13 long balls across 67.1 innings this season. The right-hander has a 4.68 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 52:13 K:BB in 13 starts, and he lines up for a tough road start versus the Yankees this weekend.

Flaherty allowed two runs on three hits and five walks while striking out one in three innings. He did not factor into the decision in a 6-2 victory in Milwaukee.

Although Flaherty was facing a 75-pitch limit, the Cardinals hoped he could pitch further into the game than the third inning. However, the righty threw more balls than strikes and was pulled after 71 pitches. He's allowed two earned runs and three hits in three innings in both of his starts since returning from a shoulder injury that cost him the first two months of the season.

Perez (5-2) earned the victory Tuesday over Philadelphia, striking out six in six scoreless innings while allowing six hits and three walks.

While Perez held the Phillies scoreless, he was pitching around trouble all night. The lefty allowed baserunners in every inning but limited the offense to singles and walks. It was the 10th time in 13 starts that he allowed one earned run or fewer while pitching at least six innings. His next start will likely be early next week in Kansas City.

Gibson (4-3) took the loss Tuesday in Texas, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out four in 6.1 innings.

Gibson faced the minimum through the first four innings thanks to two double-play groundballs. In the fifth, he gave up back-to-back homers to Nathaniel Lowe and Jonah Heim. One inning later he gave up another run. It marked the second straight start and fourth time in his last nine in which Gibson didn't hand out a single free pass.
