Mahle allowed a hit and three walks while striking out eight in 6.2 scoreless innings during Sunday's loss to the Giants. He didn't factor into the decision.

Mahle threw just 58 of his 104 pitches for strikes Sunday, but he carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning while matching his season-high mark of eight strikeouts. However, the right-hander was forced to settle for a no-decision since the Reds' bullpen gave up six runs in the top of the eighth inning. Mahle gave up eight runs in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs, but he's now posted quality starts in three of his last four outings. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Nationals on Saturday.

Cobb allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out eight in six innings during Sunday's win over the Reds. He didn't factor into the decision.

Cobb allowed 13 runs on 20 hits in 11.1 innings over his last two starts, but he righted the ship against the Reds' lackluster offense Sunday. However, the right-hander was forced to settle for the no-decision since the Giants failed to record a hit until the top of the seventh inning. Following Cobb's quality start, he has a 5.73 ERA, 47:12 K:BB and 1.49 WHIP in 37.2 innings over his first eight starts of the season. He tentatively lines up to make his next start on the road against Miami on Friday.

Gray (5-4) allowed one run on three hits and four walks over five innings Sunday, striking out three and earning a win over the Rockies.

After serving up a leadoff home run to Charlie Blackmon on the second pitch of the game, Gray kept Colorado off the board for the rest of his outing. Since his last win May 7, he had coughed up 16 runs on seven homers over his previous three outings entering Sunday. The 24-year-old righty lowered his ERA to 5.08 with a 54:25 K:BB through 51.1 innings. Gray is lined up to take the mound in Cincinnati next week.

Sandoval allowed six runs (five earned) on five hits and three walks with four strikeouts in three innings in a no-decision versus the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Neither Sandoval nor Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios pitched past the third inning in this contest. Sandoval allowed a two-run double to Lourdes Gurriel in the second inning and then yielded four more runs in the third before turning the ball over the to bullpen. This was the southpaw's worst start of the year, but he can be given a pass -- he still has a solid 2.70 ERA despite a 1.27 WHIP and 42:20 K:BB through 43.1 innings in his eight appearances. He'll try to shake off this bad outing next weekend in Philadelphia.

Berrios allowed six runs on six hits and a walk with one strikeout in 2.1 innings, taking a no-decision versus the Angels on Sunday.

Berrios had posted quality starts in his last two games, but he had no such fortune Sunday. Shohei Ohtani took him deep in his first two at-bats, and Berrios didn't complete three innings in the back-and-forth contest. The right-hander has had his ups and downs this year with a 5.62 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB across 49.2 innings in his 10 starts. He's now given up nine homers, so he'll be hoping to keep the ball in the yard better next weekend against the Twins.

Dunning allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and three walks with five strikeouts in 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Sunday.

Dunning was a bit inefficient in this outing, but the Athletics weren't able to capitalize until the fifth inning. The right-hander also threw two wild pitches and hit a batter. The 27-year-old now has a 4.31 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 56:20 K:BB across 54.1 innings in his 10 starts this season. He's expected to face the Mariners at home next week.

Kaprielian allowed four runs on six hits and struck out two over 4.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Sunday.

On the bright side, Kaprielian didn't walk a batter for the first time in six appearances this season. This was the third time he's allowed four or more runs, and it's his second start of less than five innings on the campaign. He's struggled to a 5.93 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB across 27.1 innings overall. The right-hander projects to start next week at home versus the Red Sox.

Contreras registered a no-decision during Sunday's 4-2 loss to San Diego, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with three strikeouts in five innings.

Contreras was able to escape a bases-loaded jam in the second inning but served up a Jurickson Profar two-run shot with two-out in the fifth to fall behind. The 22-year-old has impressed in two starts since returning from the minors, compiling a line of two earned runs on eight hits and three walks with eight strikeouts in 10 innings. If he sticks in the rotation, Contreras will likely take the mound against Arizona next weekend.

Gore didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 4-2 win against Pittsburgh, allowing two hits and three walks with nine strikeouts in seven scoreless innings.

Gore shut down the Pirates offense by throwing 66 of 93 pitches for strikes with a season-high nine strikeouts and an impressive 15 swinging strikes. Unfortunately for the 23-year-old, the bullpen let in two runs in the eighth to immediately spoil the rookie's excellent performance. Gore has now held opposing offenses to three runs or fewer in each of his seven starts while allowing just one run over his last 16 innings to lower his ERA to an impressive 1.71. He'll look to keep the momentum rolling against Milwaukee next weekend.

Feltner is listed as the Rockies' scheduled starting pitcher for Monday's game against the Marlins at Coors Field.

Feltner will be rewarded with a second turn through the Colorado rotation after he struck out seven and allowed two runs over five innings in a no-decision May 25 in Pittsburgh. Whether the rookie right-hander sticks around with the big club beyond Monday's outing will likely hinge on the health of starters Antonio Senzatela (back) and Kyle Freeland (ankle). Senzatela made a four-inning rehab start at Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday and could be ready to return from the 15-day injured list as soon as Wednesday, while Freeland's status for the upcoming week is murkier after he suffered a left ankle impingement during his start Sunday against the Nationals.
