  • Dallas Keuchel pitches well in no-decision Tuesday
    Dallas Keuchel pitched well in a no-decision against the Rockies on Tuesday night, allowing just two runs on four hits across 5 1/3 innings of work.

    Advice: The 36-year-old southpaw racked up five strikeouts on the evening while issuing a pair of free passes. All of the damage done against him came in the second inning as Brenton Doyle slugged a solo homer and Michael Toglia added a sacrifice fly. Aside from that though, Keuchel was terrific at Coors Field. He got eight swings and misses on 78 pitches in the ballgame, posting a CSW of 23 percent. Keuchel will attempt to further improve upon his 6.75 ERA and 1.61 WHIP when he takes on the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Sunday. Rotoworld Today, 9:14 pm
     
  • Ryan Feltner delivers strong start in no-decision
    Ryan Feltner delivered a strong start in a no-decision against the Brewers on Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits over his five frames.

    Advice: The right-hander punched out three batters on the evening while allowing a pair of walks. The lone tally against him came in the second inning on an RBI single off the bat of Sal Frelick. The Brewers then loaded the bases with two outs in the inning, but the 27-year-old hurler got Brice Turang to ground out to end the threat. Feltner generated seven swings and misses on 83 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 29 percent. He’ll carry a 5.60 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and a 78/25 K/BB ratio (91 2/3 innings) into Sunday’s showdown against the Royals. Rotoworld Today, 9:14 pm

  • Strikes out seven in win
    Crawford (4-7) earned the win against the Marlins on Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks with seven strikeouts over six innings.

    Advice: Crawford allowed a solo home run to Jake Burger in the fifth inning but was otherwise fantastic, registering a whopping 16 swinging strikes on just 72 pitches. He only threw 23 pitches June 26 as the game was suspended for weather but has now logged quality starts in his past four official contests. On the season, the 28-year-old owns a 3.47 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 102:28 K:BB over 98.2 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Yankees this weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 8:16 pm
     
  • Strikes out eight in loss
    Bellozo (0-1) took the loss to the Red Sox on Tuesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk with eight strikeouts over five innings.

    Advice: Bellozo generated a solid 12 swinging strikes on 98 pitches and has walked just one batter over 10 major-league innings. He was burned by two rough frames, allowing a two-run single in the first and a three-run home run in the fourth. While it is unclear how long the rookie will remain in Miami's rotation, he tentatively lines up for a favorable matchup against the White Sox this weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 8:15 pm
     
  • Logs quality start in no-decision
    Carrasco did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the White Sox, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings.

    Advice: Carrasco allowed a solo home run in the first inning and a two-run home run in the sixth but threw four scoreless frames in between. He registered an impressive 10 swinging strikes on 70 pitches and has logged quality starts in two of his past three outings. He still owns an uninspiring 5.21 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 61:24 K:BB through 76 innings and lines up for a home matchup against the Giants this weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 8:13 pm
     
  • Logs quality start in no-decision
    Flexen did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Guardians, allowing six runs (three earned) on six hits and one walk with three strikeouts over six innings.

    Advice: Flexen entered the sixth inning in a 3-3 tie but an error by Paul DeJong led to three unearned runs before he finished the frame at 101 pitches. It wasn't the most appealing quality start, but Flexen has now logged two in his past three outings. The 30-year-old has not recorded a win since May 8 and owns a 5.08 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 63:33 K:BB over 85 innings. He lines up for a road matchup with the Marlins this weekend.

  • Allows five earned runs in loss
    Keller (9-5) took the loss against the Cardinals on Tuesday, allowing six runs (five earned) on nine hits and no walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

    Advice: Keller was burned by the long ball, surrendering a two-run home run in the second inning and a grand slam in the fourth. After completing at least six frames in eight consecutive starts from May 6 to June 19, the righty has now failed to do so in his past two outings. The 28-year-old will bring a solid 3.48 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 96:27 K:BB over 103.1 innings into a projected home matchup with the Mets this weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 8:08 pm

  • Strikes out eight in win
    Gibson (6-3) earned the win against the Pirates on Tuesday, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk with eight strikeouts over five innings.

    Advice: Gibson was cruising early, striking out the side in each of the second and fourth innings, but he allowed four runs on two homers in the fifth. He bounced back with his control after walking five batters June 26 but was pulled after a season-low 79 pitches and has surrendered four earned runs in back-to-back outings. On the season, the veteran owns a 3.88 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 85:37 K:BB over 92.2 innings and lines up for a road matchup against the Nationals this weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 8:07 pm
     
  • Jose Berrios falters late in win over Astros
    Jose Berrios allowed five runs on five hits in five innings in a win over the Astros on Tuesday.

    Advice: Berrios kept the Astros off the scoreboard for the first four innings, but the fifth inning was a bit of a disaster. The inning started with a hit by pitch and then a walk and then was followed by two singles and a home run to push five runs across the plate and end his day. The veteran has a 3.63 ERA on the year, but his underlying metrics suggest some regression is coming. Still, he should be able to survive a showdown against the Mariners this weekend.
