Bryan Woo SP | SEA
Mariners' Bryan Woo: Has no-hitter broken up in seventh
Woo (8-2) picked up the win over the Padres on Wednesday, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk over 6.2 innings while striking out five.
Woo had a no-hitter going through the first six frames before giving up a solo homer to Fernando Tatis with one out in the seventh. The right-hander would then be relieved by Troy Taylor with two outs in the inning, though the former would still come away with his third win in his last four decisions. Woo has also produced quality starts in six of his last eight outings while posting a robust 45:4 K:BB over that stretch. On the downside, he's now surrendered at least one long ball in five consecutive starts.

Dean Kremer SP | BAL
Orioles' Dean Kremer: Gets little support in no-decision
Kremer allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over seven innings in a no-decision against Boston on Wednesday.
Kremer didn't get much support in this one -- the first run he gave up scored on a throwing error, and the Orioles managed just one run on offense while he was in the game. However, the right-hander kept his team in the contest, tossing seven strong innings while throwing 70 of 103 pitches for strikes. This was the first time Kremer completed seven frames since April 30, and the quality start was his fifth in his past six outings. He's posted a 2.62 ERA with a 32:13 K:BB during that span.

Nick Pivetta SP | BOS
Red Sox's Nick Pivetta: Strikes out nine in no-decision
Pivetta allowed one run on four hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over six innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Wednesday.
The only run Pivetta allowed came on an Emmanuel Rivera solo shot in the third inning. The right-handed hurler was otherwise excellent, notching his highest strikeout total since he tallied 10 punchouts against Seattle on July 29. Pivetta has been on a nice roll of late, notching three straight quality starts during which he's allowed just four runs while posting a 21:5 K:BB over 18 frames.

Cole Ragans SP | KC
Royals' Cole Ragans: Fans seven in no-decision
Ragans allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out seven batters over six innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Wednesday.
Ragans held New York scoreless until Juan Soto tagged him for a two-run homer in the sixth inning. That put the left-hander in line for the loss, but the Kansas City offense took him off the hook with a run in the following frame. Overall, Ragans pitched well, recording 13 whiffs en route to seven punchouts and notching his second straight quality start. Ragans has at least seven strikeouts in six of his past seven outings and ranks second in the majors with 211 punchouts on the season.

Joey Estes SP | OAK
Athletics' Joey Estes: Grabs seventh win
Estes (7-7) allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out two over 6.2 innings to earn the win over the Astros on Wednesday.
Estes logged his third quality start in his last five outings and avoided giving up a home run for the first time since July 26. The right-hander hasn't allowed more than four runs in any of his last 11 appearances. He's pitched to a 4.36 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 88:24 K:BB over 117.2 innings through 22 outings (21 starts) this season. Estes is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Cubs.

Hunter Brown SP | HOU
Astros' Hunter Brown: Loses to Athletics
Brown (11-8) allowed five runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out seven over five-plus innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Athletics.
Brown had not allowed more than two runs in any of his previous six starts before this setback. The Athletics tagged him for two runs in the third inning and added three more in the sixth, with the last of those runs crossing the plate when Caleb Ferguson allowed an inherited runner to score. Brown is now at a 3.59 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 168:56 K:BB through a career-high 158 innings over 29 appearances (28 starts). His next start is projected to be at San Diego.

Luis Gil SP | NYY
Yankees' Luis Gil: Fires five frames in no-decision
Gil allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out five batters over five innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Wednesday.
Gil did well in the contest, but he needed 97 pitches to get through five innings and thus didn't last long enough to pick up a second straight quality start. The right-hander has looked good since returning from a stay on the 15-day injured list, allowing just one run while posting a 12:4 K:BB over 11 innings. That's great news for the Yankees as the postseason looms, as Gil has been one of the team's best starters this year with a 3.18 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 156:70 K:BB over 135.2 frames.

Max Fried SP | ATL
Braves' Max Fried: Surrenders 11 hits in loss
Fried (9-9) took the loss against Washington on Wednesday, allowing four runs on 11 hits and no walks while striking out six batters over six innings.
Fried kept the Nationals off the scoreboard through two frames, but he gave up at least one run in each of the following three innings. The 11 hits allowed by the southpaw tied a season-worst mark, and the outing snapped a five-game streak of yielding three or fewer runs. Fried did at least manage to continue to eat up innings, as he's now gone at least six frames in four of his past five starts.

Brandon Williamson SP | CIN
Reds' Brandon Williamson: Gives up one run to Cardinals
Williamson allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Wednesday.
Williamson completed five innings for the first time in his three appearances (two starts) since he returned from a shoulder injury that cost him five months to begin the year. He's been good so far, allowing four runs (three earned) over 13 innings while posting an 11:3 K:BB. The lone blemish on his line Wednesday was a solo home run by Nolan Arenado. Williamson is tentatively projected to make his next appearance at home versus Atlanta.

Jake Irvin SP | WAS
Nationals' Jake Irvin: Stymies Atlanta for 10th victory
Irvin (10-12) earned the win over Atlanta on Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out five batters over six innings.
Irvin retired the first 10 batters he faced and was working on a no-hitter until Atlanta finally got to him for consecutive doubles in the sixth inning. The right-hander emerged with his first quality start since Aug. 13, which was also the date of his most recent win prior to Wednesday. Irvin had been struggling prior to this excellent outing, as he had surrendered 13 runs across 9.2 frames in his previous two starts. He's fallen off in the second half after a strong beginning to the campaign, but he still has 10 wins and a tolerable 4.19 ERA overall.
