Webb (9-3) picked up the win after tossing seven innings and giving up three runs on nine hits and striking out six against the Rockies on Tuesday. He did not issue a walk.

The 24-year-old dealt with quite a bit of traffic on the bases Tuesday, but he was able to limit the damage to only three runs. C.J. Cron drove in a run with a double in the fourth inning and the final two runs against him came around to score in the seventh inning on a Joshua Fuentes single. Webb has now logged nine consecutive quality starts while posting 1.70 ERA and a 5-0 record. He will look to make it an even 10 consecutive quality starts his next time out, tentatively set for Sunday against the Cubs in Chicago.

Lauer (5-5) earned the win Tuesday over Philadelphia. He allowed just four hits and a walk with five strikeouts across seven shutout innings.

September is treating Lauer well so far, as he's allowed just one run, seven hits and two walks across 14 innings in his two starts this month. Philadelphia couldn't get a runner past second base on the southpaw's watch Tuesday. With the stellar start, Lauer lowered his ERA to 3.18 with a 1.18 WHIP and 91:33 K:BB through 96.1 innings this season. He'll look to keep rolling next week in Detroit.

Odorizzi allowed two runs on five hits while striking out five in five innings against the Mariners on Tuesday. He did not factor into the decision.

The right-hander gave up a two-run double to J.P. Crawford in the fifth inning, scoring Luis Torrens and Jarred Kelenic. It was the sixth consecutive start in which he lasted at least five innings -- he's compiled a 2.90 ERA and 2-1 record over that stretch. Odorizzi is expected to start next against the Rangers on Monday.

Nola (7-8) took the loss Tuesday versus Milwaukee. He allowed three runs on six hits and a hit batter while striking out six in five innings.

While the right-hander wasn't all that effective Tuesday, his Philadelphia teammates supported him with just five hits and a walk in the contest. Nola has failed to complete six innings in six of his last seven starts, with his 8.2-inning effort versus San Diego on Aug. 21 the notable exception in that span. He's posted a 4.57 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 192:35 K:BB across 157.2 innings overall. Nola projects for a home start versus Colorado this weekend.

Kershaw (forearm) allowed two runs on four hits with three strikeouts and zero walks over three innings during his rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, and he remains on track to return from the 60-day injured list and rejoin the major-league rotation Sunday versus the Padres, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Kershaw threw 49 pitches and went through the outing with no issues -- apparently the final hurdle in his rehab before returning from the injured list. Per Plunkett, manager Dave Roberts indicated it's still "the plan" for the veteran left-hander to start for the Dodgers this weekend as long as he's able to complete a bullpen session in a couple days, which is the standard routine between starts. Kershaw figures to face some workload limitations upon his return given he only stretched out to 49 pitches Tuesday.

Fried allowed one run on six hits and four walks with five strikeouts in six innings versus Washington on Tuesday. He did not factor in the decision.

The southpaw was in line for the win despite matching his season high in walks, but reliever Tyler Matzek allowed Washington to tie the game in the seventh inning. Fried has now taken three straight no-decisions, although all have been quality starts. He's at a 3.42 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 136:39 K:BB across 136.2 innings overall. Fried remains at 11-7 heading into this weekend's projected home start versus Miami.

Gilbert pitched 4.1 innings giving up two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five in Tuesday's loss to the Astros. He did not factor into the game's decision.

The rookie was shaky in this start. In the third inning he surrendered a solo home run to Jose Altuve and an RBI double to Alex Bregman. He left the game in the fifth inning after recording just one out and allowing two baserunners. It was the fourth time in his last five starts that he has failed to reach five innings, compiling a dreadful 8.59 ERA over that stretch. He projects to start next on Monday against the Red Sox.

Rodriguez (11-8) surrendered six runs on eight hits and struck out three in 3.2 innings, taking the loss versus Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

The southpaw was effective against the Rays last Thursday with six shutout innings, but he did not enjoy the same success at home. Six of the eight hits Rodriguez allowed went for extra bases, including two home runs and a triple. The 28-year-old's ERA rose to 5.15 with a 1.39 WHIP and 159:39 K:BB through 136.1 innings this year. He's been maddeningly inconsistent with three quality starts and three outings with five-plus runs allowed in 10 starts since the All-Star break. Rodriguez lines up for a challenging road start versus the White Sox this weekend.

Civale (10-3) was charged with the loss Tuesday against the Twins after allowing one run on three hits and a walk while striking out six over 4.2 innings.

Civale was making his first major-league start since June 21 after a two-and-a-half month absence due to a sprained finger. The right-hander tossed 78 pitches, including 52 for strikes. His only blemish on the night came from an RBI single by Andrelton Simmons in the fifth inning. During his three rehab starts, the 26-year-old compiled a solid 0.79 ERA and 0.71 WHIP over 11.1 innings. He'll look to get stretched out further during his next projected start Sunday against Milwaukee.

Rasmussen (2-1) allowed a run on six hits and struck out two in five innings, earning the win Tuesday over Boston.

The only run the right-hander gave up came on a second-inning groundout. Rasmussen still isn't pitching very deep into games, but he hasn't allowed more than one run in any appearance since July 5. He owns a 3.25 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 65:23 K:BB across 61 innings between Tampa Bay and Milwaukee this year. The 26-year-old will look to keep up the strong pitching next week in Toronto.
