Parker (4-6) took the loss Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and no walks over six innings against Texas. He struck out five.

Parker delivered six solid innings, but a lack of run support from Washington resulted in his sixth loss of the season. Despite the defeat, this was a much-needed rebound performance for the southpaw, who entered the game with a 7.99 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over his previous seven starts.

DeGrom (6-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing two hits and no walks over seven scoreless innings against Washington. He struck out eight.

DeGrom was virtually unhittable against Washington on Saturday. The right-hander's fastball might be down a few ticks from his peak velocity (it's averaging 97.1 mph in 2025), but he's been as dominant as ever, posting a 1.66 ERA and 0.85 WHIP across 43.1 innings in his past seven starts. With a 2.12 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 76.1 innings in 13 outings overall in 2025, the 36-year-old is reasserting himself as one of the game's premier pitchers.

Williams took a no-decision after he allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five in six innings during Saturday's 5-3, extra-inning loss to the Astros

Williams continues to do a good job at limiting hits in his starts, surrendering five or fewer in six straight. Walks have been the thing to hurt the 25-year-old this season as he walked multiple batters Saturday for the 11th time in 13 starts. The strikeout numbers look good with a 9.8 K/9, but the right-hander will likely need to cut down on the free passes in order to maintain his current ERA of 3.86.

Severino (1-6) allowed six runs (five earned) on eight hits and four walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Orioles.

The Athletics gave Severino a 4-1 lead to work with after one inning, but he couldn't guard it. The Orioles' comeback began with a Ramon Laureano solo shot in the fourth inning, and Severino ultimately gave up the decisive run on Colton Cowser's solo homer in the sixth. This outing ended a stretch of 10 starts where Severino didn't give up a homer, but he still hasn't been all that effective. For the season, he has a 4.77 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 60:27 K:BB through 83 innings over 14 starts, though he's allowed just six homers all year. His next start is projected to be on the road in Kansas City.

Crochet (6-4) earned the win against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over six innings.

The five earned runs were a season-worst mark for Crochet, but he still managed to walk away with a victory thanks to a potent Boston offense. Much of the damage against the southpaw was inflicted by Austin Wells, who tagged Crochet for a three-run homer in the second inning and a run-scoring double in the fourth. Despite the damage to his ERA, Crochet impressed by inducing 15 whiffs and racking up nine punchouts, including three strikeouts of Aaron Judge. Crochet has fanned 32 batters across his past three starts and leads the majors with 110 punchouts on the season.

Morton allowed four runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five over 2.1 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Saturday.

Morton had seemingly turned a corner with two successful starts in a row since returning to the rotation, but he faltered again Saturday. He threw 76 pitches (42 strikes) in this effort, which saw him give up all four runs in the first inning, though the Orioles were able to overcome the early deficit. Morton has generally been better since the start of May after a brief shift to the bullpen, but it continues to be tough to trust the 41-year-old from one outing to the next. He's at a 6.59 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 57:31 K:BB through 56 innings over 15 appearances (nine starts) this season. Morton's next start is tentatively projected to be at home versus the Angels.

Kolek didn't factor in the decision against Milwaukee on Saturday, tossing 5.2 scoreless innings during which he allowed three hits and four walks while striking out two batters.

Kolek struggled with his control, as he threw just 51 of 88 pitches for strikes and issued a season-high four free passes. However, the right-hander didn't allow any extra-base hits and let just one Brewer get to third base. This was the second straight start in which Kolek finished with exactly 5.2 scoreless frames, and he's now gone 15.1 innings since last giving up a run. Kolek has been a solid asset for the Padres since moving into the rotation in early May, posting a 3.00 ERA and 1.24 WHIP despite a mediocre 29:16 K:BB across 42 frames.

Brown settled for a no-decision after allowing one run on four hits and five walks while striking out nine in 5.1 innings of work during Saturday's 5-3 win over the Guardians in 10 innings.

For a second straight start, the free passes piled up for Brown. After walking a season-high five batters Saturday, the 26-year-old has walked nine batters in his last 11.1 innings. Despite the recent run of free passes, Brown still has a career-best 2.8 BB/9 across 79 innings this year. The right-hander has allowed one or fewer runs in nine of his past 11 starts, bringing his season-long ERA down to an impressive 1.82.

Quintana pitched five innings in a no-decision against San Diego on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and three walks while striking out four batters.

Quintana allowed a fair number of baserunners, but none of the five hits against him went for extra bases. The southpaw was limited to five frames as he racked up 101 pitches, and he departed in line for the loss before a seventh-inning Milwaukee rally took him off the hook. Quintana has completed exactly five frames in each of his two starts since being activated off the IL on June 1, and he's yielded just three runs despite a 7:7 K:BB during that span. He'll look for his first victory since late April the next time he takes the mound, which lines up to be at home against St. Louis next week.

Castillo (4-4) allowed six runs (four earned) on eight hits and struck out five without walking a batter over five innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Angels.

Castillo was able to limit the damage, as all three home runs he allowed were solo shots. However, the Angels' tying rally in the third inning yielded two unearned runs, and the Mariners failed to bounce back effectively after that. Prior to Saturday, Castillo had seemingly rounded into form with four straight quality starts, allowing just four runs over 25 innings in that stretch. He's now at a 3.31 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 60:23 K:BB over 73.1 innings through 13 starts, and he's given up seven homers this year. The 32-year-old is projected to make his next start at home versus the Guardians.
