Ober didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 10-7 win over the Royals, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over three innings. He struck out five.

The Twins staked Ober to a 4-0 lead in the first inning, but after he coughed up three runs of his own in the third, he got the hook after 61 pitches (38 strikes). Ober hadn't allowed more than one earned run in a start since his first outing of the season, leaving him with a 3.25 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 25:7 K:BB through 27.2 innings.

Lyles is starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.

Lyles has posted a 3.31 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 32.2 innings over five starts in May, and he'll make his 10th start of the season during Saturday's matinee. Although he posted a quality start in four of his last five outings, the right-hander was limited to two wins during that time.

Keller (1-5) took the loss Friday, surrendering six runs on 11 hits and three walks over four innings as the Royals fell 10-7 to the Twins. He struck out three.

Facing Minnesota for a second straight start, Keller was tagged for four runs in the first inning alone, including a two-run blast by Jorge Polanco. He exited the contest after throwing 85 pitches, including 55 strikes. Keller will take a 3.95 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 32:15 K:BB over 54.2 innings into his next outing.

Anderson didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-4 win over the Marlins, giving up four runs on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

The right-hander cruised through five scoreless innings but hit a wall in the sixth, serving up a pair of two-run homers to Garrett Cooper and Jesus Aguilar. Anderson got the hook after 100 pitches (63 strikes), coming up short of his third quality start of the year. He will carry a 4.34 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 36:23 K:BB across 47.2 innings into his next outing.

Rogers didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-4 loss to Atlanta, giving up three runs on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out three.

The lefty continues to get hit hard, as three of the four hits off Rogers went for extra bases, including an Austin Riley solo shot. However he was able to limit the damage somewhat. Rogers didn't complete six innings in any of his five starts in May, and he posted a 5.32 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 23:7 K:BB and a rough 2.7 HR/9 over the 23.2 innings he threw during the month.

Springs (2-2) took the loss Friday as the Rays fell 2-0 to the Yankees, giving up two runs on five hits over six innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.

It was a strong performance from the southpaw, who tossed 80 pitches (56 strikes) in his first quality start of the season. However, Springs served up a pair of solo homers in the fourth inning and had no margin for error. Since moving into the rotation in May, he has a 2.21 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 19:4 K:BB in 20.1 innings over four outings.

Taillon (5-1) picked up the win Friday, scattering two hits over eight scoreless innings in a 2-0 win over the Rays. He struck out five without walking a batter.

He retired the first 12 batters he faced, and a sixth-inning double by Manuel Margot -- who got stranded at second base -- was as close as Tampa Bay got to plating a run. It was the second straight quality start and third of the season for Taillon, who will take a 2.49 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 39:5 K:BB through 50.2 innings into his next outing.

Carrasco (5-1) picked up the win in Friday's 8-6 victory over the Phillies, giving up five runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

The veteran right-hander took a shutout into the sixth inning after being staked to an early 7-0 lead, but Carrasco nearly squandered it in a disastrous sixth. He got the hook after 85 pitches (59 strikes), and he's now failed to last a full six innings in three straight starts. Carrasco will carry a 3.98 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 46:8 K:BB into his next outing.

Falter (0-2) took the loss Friday, coughing up five runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks over three innings as the Phillies were downed 8-6 by the Mets. He struck out two.

Making just his third career start in the majors, Falter needed 82 pitches (52 strikes) to record nine outs, although he didn't get much help from his defense. The southpaw has a 4.20 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB through 15.0 innings for the Phillies this season, and he'll likely return to the bullpen or the minors after this outing.

Bradish didn't factor in the decision during Friday's 12-8 win over the Red Sox after surrendering six runs on six hits with two strikeouts and one walk over 1.2 innings.

Xander Bogaerts capped off a four-run first inning with a three-run homer, and Bradish was pulled with two outs in the second after allowing a two-run double to Alex Verdugo. The Orioles rallied to score 12 unanswered runs and overcame a six-run deficit, which took Bradish off the hook for the loss. The right-hander has now given up at least four earned runs in four of his six starts this season, and his spot in the big-league rotation could be in jeopardy given his struggles.
