  • Alex Wood RP | ATH

    Giants' Alex Wood: Gets back in win column

    Wood (3-2) earned the win during Tuesday's 9-2 victory over Colorado, allowing one unearned run on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts in 5.1 innings.

    Wood put multiple Rockies on base in the first, fourth, fifth and sixth innings but was able to limit the damage to an unearned run in the fourth. Manager Gabe Kapler let the 31-year-old toss a season-high 104 pitches -- 15 more than his next highest total -- though Wood was only able to tie his season high in innings. He'll take a 3.60 ERA into his next start.

  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Loses short outing

    Senzatela (2-2) was handed the loss during Tuesday's 9-2 defeat at the hands of the Giants, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks with one strikeout in 3.2 innings.

    Senzatela loaded the bases with none out in the second inning before letting all three runners score, then surrendered four straight hits in the fourth to push two more runs across the plate. The 27-year-old has now gone fewer than five innings in his last two turns while recording only one strikeout in each of his last three. He'll most likely take the mound again for a rematch with San Francisco early next week.

  • Reid Detmers SP | LAA

    Angels' Reid Detmers: No-hits Tampa Bay

    Detmers (2-1) struck out two and issued one walk while turning in a complete game no-hitter Tuesday in the Angels' 12-0 victory over the Rays.

    In just his 11th major-league start, Detmers joined an exclusive club by throwing a no-hitter. Twenty-five of the 28 batters he faced put the ball in play, but none were able to find an opening in the defense. Two Rays reached base, one on a walk and the other on an error by first baseman Jared Walsh. The 22-year-old had never pitched more than six innings or had a scoreless outing prior to Tuesday's no-hit effort. The outing lowered his season ERA from 5.32 to 3.77.

  • Red Sox's Garrett Whitlock: Ineffective versus Atlanta

    Whitlock tossed three innings, giving up three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out five in Tuesday's win over the Braves. He did not factor into the decision.

    Whitlock didn't have full command of the strike zone Tuesday, walking a season-high four batters while throwing 48 of his 82 pitches for strikes. Marcell Ozuna ripped a sacrifice fly against him in the bottom of the third inning before Travis d'Arnaud launched a two-run homer later in the frame. The 25-year-old has been alternating between long relief and the starting rotation this season, drawing a start in each of his last three outings, surrendering five runs in 11 innings over that stretch. Whitlock still owns a 2.19 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with 34 strikeouts over 24.2 innings this year. It is yet to be seen if he will make another start in the rotation or if Rich Hill (illness) will return from the COVID-19 injured list ahead of his next turn in the rotation.

  • Martin Perez SP | ATL

    Rangers' Martin Perez: Excellent again in win

    Perez (1-2) earned the win and struck out six in 6.1 innings while allowing four runs (one earned) on five hits in a 6-4 victory Tuesday over Kansas City.

    Perez faced the minimum through the first four innings, erasing the lone single allowed on a double-play ball. In the fifth, two hits led to an earned run. The lefty likely could have completed the seventh inning unscathed but consecutive errors by Charlie Culberson to begin the frame led to three unearned runs. Over his last four starts, he has a remarkable 0.68 ERA and 0.68 WHIP in 26.1 innings. His next start will likely be early next week against the Angels.

  • Kyle Wright SP | CHC

    Braves' Kyle Wright: Crushed by Red Sox

    Wright (3-2) pitched 4.2 innings, surrendering six runs on seven hits and four walks on his way to a loss against the Red Sox on Tuesday. He struck out four batters.

    Wright imploded in the top of the second inning, giving up all six runs, capped off by a Rafael Devers grand slam, giving the Red Sox a 6-0 lead. The right-hander matched his season-high with four walks in what was ultimately his shortest outing of the 2022 campaign. After allowing just six total earned runs in his first five starts of the season, four of which were quality starts, the 26-year-old simply didn't have his best stuff Tuesday. Even with the tough outing, Wright still has a 3.03 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 41 punchouts over 35.2 innings in six starts.

  • Brad Keller RP | PHI

    Royals' Brad Keller: Allows 10 baserunners in loss

    Keller (1-3) took the loss after giving up six runs (five earned) over 5.2 innings in a 6-4 defeat Tuesday in Texas. He allowed nine hits and a walk while striking out three.

    After retiring the first two batters on groundouts, Keller gave up a solo homer to Corey Seager and three consecutive singles in the three-run first. Seager tagged him for another solo shot in the third and the Rangers manufactured runs in the fourth and sixth. It was arguably his least effective start of the season with the two home runs doubling his season total. Despite the poor showing, the 25-year-old has an excellent 2.70 ERA and 0.98 WHIP through six starts. His next start will likely be early next week against the White Sox.

  • Joe Ryan SP | MIN

    Twins' Joe Ryan: Struggles against Astros

    Ryan (3-2) was tagged with the loss Tuesday after he pitched four innings, giving up four runs on four hits and five walks while striking out three against the Astros.

    Ryan struggled with his command and control Tuesday, throwing only 56 of his 90 pitches for strikes and walking a season-high five batters. After giving up one total run over 19 innings with 21 punchouts in his previous three starts, the right-hander has surrendered six runs over 8.2 innings while only striking out six in his last two outings. Ryan has a still-impressive 2.56 ERA and 1.01 WHIP with 31 strikeouts in 31.2 innings over six starts. He tentatively lines up to toe the rubber next at home Sunday against the Guardians.

  • White Sox's Lucas Giolito: Stellar in win

    Giolito (2-1) earned the win after striking out five in seven innings, allowing one run on six hits and a walk in a 4-1 victory Tuesday over Cleveland.

    Giolito cruised through the first six innings, holding Cleveland scoreless and inducing two double-play groundballs. The lone run against him came on a solo shot by Josh Naylor in the seventh. The righty was efficient, needing 91 pitches to finish seven frames in his best start of the season. He's allowed three runs or fewer in all five starts, resulting in a solid 2.70 ERA.

  • Cal Quantrill RP | TEX

    Guardians' Cal Quantrill: Allows 10 hits in loss

    Quantrill (1-2) took the loss and allowed four runs on 10 hits in 6.1 innings, striking out three in a 4-1 defeat Tuesday against the White Sox.

    Quantrill scattered four singles over the first four innings, holding Chicago scoreless in those frames. He then allowed multiple hits in the next three innings, the big blow being a two-out, two-run homer by Gavin Sheets in the sixth. It was just his second home run allowed in six starts. The 27-year-old has never been a high-strikeout pitcher and has a career-low 5.2 strikeouts per nine innings through 34.1 innings. His next start will likely be early next week against Cincinnati.
