  • Kimbrel picks up 14th save Friday
    Craig Kimbrel tossed a clean ninth inning and picked up the save against the Rays on Friday.

    Advice: The save was Kimbrel’s 14th of the season and came on the heels of him taking the loss in his last appearance against the Blue Jays on Wednesday. That wasn’t a save opportunity, though. The 36-year-old right-handed is now 7-for-7 in save opportunities since the end of April. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
     
  • Stellar in spot start
    Myers (2-2) earned the win Friday against Detroit, allowing just one hit and three walks over eight scoreless innings. He struck out five.

    Advice: After he was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday, Myers rejoined the Brewers' rotation Friday and delivered a fantastic effort -- he allowed a single to Matt Vierling to lead off the first inning (which was erased on a pickoff) before proceeding to hold the Tigers hitless over his final seven frames. Myers lowered his ERA to 4.15 with a 1.24 WHIP and 32:13 K:BB across 34.2 innings in a swing role with Milwaukee this year. He figures to stick in the rotation for now with Joe Ross (back), Robert Gasser (elbow), Jakob Junis (shoulder) and DL Hall (knee) all on the IL. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Civale allows four runs in loss to Orioles Friday
    Aaron Civale allowed four runs in five innings and took the loss against the Orioles on Friday.



    Advice: Civale gave up seven hits, walked one and struck out eight. He’s won just two of his 13 starts this year. Tampa Bay acquired Civale last year and he had a 5.36 ERA in 10 starts. In 13 starts this year, his ERA is 5.91. If the Rays of all teams can’t fix him, I don’t know if any team can. The 28-year-old right-hander is set to face the Cubs at home next week.

  • Nick Lodolo limits Cubs to one run in victory
    Nick Lodolo held the Cubs to one run in six innings and struck out seven in the Reds’ 3-2 victory Friday.

    Advice: A Dansby Swanson homer was the only damage. Lodolo picked up his sixth win in nine starts this year, matching his total in 26 starts between 2022 and ’23. He’ll take a 2.92 ERA into his next start versus the Reds. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
     
  • Alexis Díaz gives up run, earns 13th save
    Alexis Díaz recorded his 13th save despite giving up a run in the ninth Friday against the Cubs.

    Advice: After getting two well-hit lineouts to start the ninth, Díaz walked a batter and allowed an RBI double. He then struck out Patrick Wisdom to end the game with a 3-2 score. Díaz has made 26 appearances this season and turned in a perfect inning three times. Still, as shaky as he’s been, he’s 13-for-15 saving games. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
     
  • Justin Steele remains winless after quality start
    Justin Steele dropped to 0-3 after allowing three runs in seven innings Friday against the Reds.

    Advice: Two of the runs scored in the fourth after Steele had Elly De La Cruz picked off first base, only for Cruz to reach second because of errant throw from Michael Busch. If that had turned into an out, Steele might have wound up allowing just one run tonight. He’ll face the Rays next. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
     
  • Irvin allows three runs and picks up win Friday
    Cole Irvin allowed three runs (two earned) in 5 2/3 innings and got the win in the Orioles’ 6-3 victory over the Rays on Friday.



    Advice: Irvin gave up eight hits, walked none and struck out six. The win was his sixth of the season. Irvin hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs since his second start of the year back on April 10th. His ERA on the season is now 2.87, though his 4.19 xFIP tells a different story. The 30-year-old left-hander will see if he can keep it going against the Braves at home next week.

  • Implodes vs. Brewers
    Olson (1-7) took the loss Friday against Milwaukee, allowing eight runs on 12 hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out six.

    Advice: It was a brutal night for Olson, who was tagged for a career-high eight runs. The 24-year-old right-hander has now allowed 13 runs over 9.1 innings in his last two outings after holding opponents to one earned run or fewer in each of his previous six outings. Overall, Olson sports a 3.43 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP and 58:22 K:BB across 65.2 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, currently scheduled for next week at home against the Nationals. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Myers cruises to win over Tigers Friday
    Tobias Myers threw eight shutout innings and got the win in the Brewers’ 10-0 victory over the Tigers on Friday.

    Advice: Myers gave up one hit, walked three and struck out five. The win was his second of the year. He was staked to a 5-0 lead in the second inning and the Tigers never managed to get back in the game. Detroit’s offense totaled two hits on the night and one was with Myers already out of the game in the ninth inning of a 10-0 game. He hadn’t completed even five innings in any of his last four starts, but the rookie had his best outing of the year in Detroit. Myers brought his ERA down to 4.15 on the year. The 25-year-old right-hander is set to face the Blue Jays at home next week.
