Mazur (0-4) allowed two unearned runs on one hit and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out four and taking a loss against Detroit.
Mazur coughed up a pair of runs in the second inning due to two errors by his defense. He then retired 13 of the last 14 batters he faced to deliver his first quality start of the year. He had given up at least four runs in three of his last four starts, but he dropped his season ERA from 6.30 to 4.85 after Sunday's performance. Mazur has posted a 17:10 K:BB through 26 innings and has yet to strike out more than five batters in an outing. He's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Rangers next weekend.

Bailey Ober SP | MIN
Twins' Bailey Ober: Fans nine, takes loss
Ober (5-8) took the loss Sunday against Arizona, conceding four runs on four hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out nine.
Despite notching his eighth start without a free pass issued, Ober was saddled with the loss in this 101-pitch appearance. The Minnesota right-hander once again yielded a homer, his 30th given up of the season, when James McCann slugged a three-run long ball in the fourth inning, ruining Ober's opportunity for a quality start. The 30-year-old now sports a 5.12 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 114:28 K:BB across 135.1 total frames. He currently lines up to make his next start at home against Cleveland next weekend.

Marquez (3-14) allowed seven runs (six earned) on nine hits and two walks while failing to record a strikeout over 2.1 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Padres.
Marquez's last two starts have come on the road, but he's allowed a combined 12 runs (11 earned) over 7.1 innings in those games. The right-hander gave up three runs in each of the first two frames and continued to labor before Roansy Contreras relieved him in the third. On the year, Marquez has an awful 6.65 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 77:44 K:BB through 115 innings over 24 starts. He's tentatively projected for a home start versus the Angels in his next outing.

Padres' Yu Darvish: Collects fourth win
Darvish (4-5) allowed three runs on four hits and struck out five without walking a batter over five-plus innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Sunday.
Darvish had a sharp start through five frames, but he put on a pair of runners in the sixth, and Jeremiah Estrada wasn't able to prevent them from scoring. It was still a positive performance, as Darvish earned his first win since Aug. 22 versus the Dodgers, though he's allowed at least three runs in five of his last six outings. Darvish is at a 5.63 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 60:17 K:BB through 62.1 innings across 13 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be a road start versus the White Sox.

The grizzled veteran continued his recent run of success, as he's pitched to a respectable 2.57 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 21 innings over his last four outings. Both runs Mikolas conceded came by way of the long ball, with both Caleb Durbin and Danny Jansen popping solo shots off the St. Louis starter. Through 146.1 total frames, Mikolas has produced a 4.80 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 93:34 K:BB while coughing up 26 homers. The 37-year-old is currently slated for a rematch with the Brewers at home next weekend for his next turn in the rotation.

Hendricks had allowed just three runs over his previous three starts (19 innings), but the Mariners' offense was able to do damage against him in the third and fourth innings. This was the third time in his last seven starts that he fell short of completing five frames. Hendricks is now at a 5.01 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 101:43 K:BB through 152.2 innings over 29 starts this season. The veteran right-hander is tentatively projected for a road start in Colorado for his next outing.

Kirby had allowed 11 runs (10 earned) over six innings across his first two starts of September. He tied his career high for strikeouts in a game with this dominant performance.

Overall, he's at a 4.46 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 120:28 K:BB through 115 innings across 21 starts. His next start is projected to be on the road versus Houston.

Guardians' Slade Cecconi: Concedes two runs in no-decision
Cecconi allowed two runs on three hits and one walk over 5.2 innings while not factoring into the decision Sunday against the White Sox. He struck out four.
The 26-year-old gave up just two extra-base knocks in this 93-pitch appearance, and both scored the pair of runs he yielded. Miguel Vargas plated the first Chicago run with a double in the fourth before Chase Meidroth added a solo homer in the fifth. Cecconi has now pitched to a 4.39 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 98:30 K:BB across 121 total frames. The Cleveland right-hander projects to face off with divisional foes Minnesota for the first time in his career next weekend on the road.

Yoendrys Gomez RP | TB
White Sox's Yoendrys Gomez: Fans four in no-decision
Gomez didn't factor into the decision Sunday at Cleveland, allowing two runs on two hits and one walk over five innings with four strikeouts.
The 25-year-old fared much better in this 77-pitch outing after coughing up four runs across five frames in his last appearance. Gomez conceded both runs on a fourth inning double by Bo Naylor -- the only extra-base hit he allowed. Since entering the White Sox rotation Aug. 12, Gomez has been a solid pitching option, producing a 4.01 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB over 33.2 innings. The Chicago right-hander currently lines up to make his next start at home against the Padres next weekend.
