  • Takes another loss
    Mize (1-5) took the loss Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks with three strikeouts across four innings.

    Advice: Both of the runs charged to Mize came in the first inning, when he yielded three consecutive hits - including a triple by Ozzie Albies - to open up the game. While Mize hasn't found the win column since April 21, Tuesday's start added on to what's been a solid stretch for the 27-year-old. He's surrendered three or fewer earned runs in seven of his last eight appearances and owns a 4.43 ERA with a 46:19 K:BB on the year. Rotowire.com Today, 5:18 am
     
  • Pablo López hit hard on Tuesday in no-decision
    Pablo López was crushed for five runs over four innings on Tuesday in a no-decision the Rays.

    Advice: The ball was flying on Tuesday night at Target Field as López was tagged for seven hits, including a pair of homers, before a lengthy rain delay brought his outing to a close. He finished with three strikeouts and only issued one walk. The surface results haven’t been inspiring this season, but he still holds a strong 3.47 xFIP, which seems to indicate that he’s been extremely unlucky. He’ll aim to rebound this weekend with a tasty road tilt on Sunday against the Athletics out in Oakland. Rotoworld Today, 3:15 am
     
  • Aaron Civale gives up four runs in no-decision
    Aaron Civale gave up four runs over 3 2/3 innings on Tuesday in a no-decision against the Twins.

    Advice: Civale didn’t end up factoring into the decision as he was long gone before an extended rain delay ground this one to a halt. He managed to keep the ball in the yard, but still surrendered seven hits, and was unable to escape the fourth inning. He finished with five strikeouts and issued a pair of walks. He’ll bring a lackluster 5.42 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 79/22 K/BB ratio across 76 1/3 innings (15 starts) into a road matchup on Sunday against the Pirates. Rotoworld Today, 3:12 am
     
  • Albert Suárez struggles in loss to Yankees
    Albert Suárez allowed three earned runs over 3 2/3 innings while striking out three in Tuesday’s loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Suárez got through the first inning unscathed but ran into trouble in the second inning after a one-out walk to Gleyber Torres. Austin Wells doubled in the following at-bat and was eventually driven in by an Anthony Volpe double. He got out of the jam with just the one run allowed but kicked off the third inning by hitting Aaron Judge with a pitch and allowing a long single to Alex Verdugo. Giancarlo Stanton singled to drive home Judge. Suárez didn’t make it out of the fourth inning after being pulled with two outs following a walk to Stanton. Suárez walked a season-high five batters in this one. He’ll look to bounce back in his next start, which is set for Sunday against the Astros. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:18 pm
     
  • Nestor Cortes blanks O’s for six innings in win
    Nestor Cortes pitched six scoreless innings while striking out six to earn the win on Tuesday against the Orioles.

    Advice: Cortes needed 25 pitches to get through the first inning, thanks in part to back-to-back singles by Adley Rutschman and Ryan Mountcastle. He would eventually settle in to pitch six scoreless innings without walking a batter. The five hits Cortes allowed all came on singles as he did everything within reason to hold a powerful Orioles lineup in check. Cortes has been feisty at home all season and draws another home start on Sunday against the Braves. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:16 pm
     
  • Mize allows two runs, hit with loss vs. Braves
    Casey Mize pitched four innings while allowing two runs on five hits in the Tigers’ loss to the Braves on Tuesday.

    Advice: Mize surrendered two runs in the first inning, with the first coming on an RBI triple by Ozzie Albies. It would be the only two runs he’d surrender in the outing, but some long innings resulted in 87 pitches over four frames despite him not walking a batter. Still in search of his first win since April, Mize will look to secure his second win in his next start, which comes on Monday against a stout Phillies lineup. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:47 pm
     
  • Lance Lynn has fourth straight rough start
    Lance Lynn allowed six runs (five earned) on 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Marlins.

    Advice: Lynn may have allowed only three extra-base hits, but he allowed 14 hard-hit baseballs and had an average exit velocity allowed of 95 mph. This is now the fourth straight rough start for Lynn, who has not pitched more than 5 1/3 innings in any of those starts, allowing a combined 16 runs (12 earned) in 18 innings. He did get 10 whiffs on 27 swings with his fastball on Tuesday but none of his other pitchers were particularly effective. He now has a 4.08 ERA and finds himself with a much tougher start next week against the Braves. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:46 pm
     
  • Roddery Muñoz undone by homers
    Roddery Muñoz allowed seven runs (six earned) on eight hits in four innings in a no-decision against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Muñoz allowed nine hard-hit balls and four extra-base hits, including three home runs in his four innings of work. He struck out three and walked two while posting a 26 percent whiff rate and 28 percent CSW. The 24-year-old now has a 5.76 ERA and remains a risky start next week against the Royals.

  • Irvin gives up four runs in loss to Diamondbacks
    Jake Irvin allowed four earned runs on eight hits over five innings while striking out two in Tuesday’s loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Irvin allowed the first three batters he faced to reach base, but it was the two-run homer by Ketel Marte that put him in a hole early. Irvin would go on to pitch two scoreless innings before surrendering two more runs in the fifth, which would be his final inning. It was just the second time this year that Irvin has allowed four or more runs in an outing, as he’s been one of the core members of a Nationals rotation that has surprised in the first half of the season. Irvin will look to get back on track in his next start, which is scheduled for Sunday against the Rockies. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:15 pm
