  • Takes blown save, loss
    Duran (3-3) allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one over one inning, taking the loss and a blown save versus the Athletics on Friday.

    Advice: Duran served up a two-run home run to Shea Langeliers after being called upon to pitch in a high-leverage situation in the eighth inning. This was Duran's first blown save of the year -- he's converted 11 saves and added four holds over 24 appearances. The closer has a 3.91 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB through 23 innings overall.

  • Can't complete five innings
    Paddack allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Friday.

    Advice: Paddack again struggled against the Athletics, though it wasn't as bad as his last start, in which he allowed five runs over 2.1 innings. The right-hander has a poor 5.29 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 70:18 K:BB over 78.1 innings through 15 starts this season. He's projected to make his next start on the road in Arizona, though he hasn't pitched well enough to draw much positive attention in fantasy. Rotowire.com Today, 10:22 pm

  • Clean inning for save
    Miller struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-5 win over the Twins.

    Advice: Shea Langeliers put the Athletics ahead in the eighth inning, and Miller was able to slam the door in the ninth. Miller hasn't been charged with a run over his last 4.2 innings while posting a 5:2 K:BB in that span. The closer is up to 14 saves with a 2.08 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 60:13 K:BB over 34.2 innings this season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:15 pm

  • Bounces back with quality start
    Estes allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out one over six innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Friday.

    Advice: Estes was tagged for six runs over 2.2 innings in his previous start at Minnesota, but he responded with his second quality start in eight outings this season. The downside was his single strikeout, which was a season low for the right-hander. He's now at a 5.53 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB over 40.2 innings. Estes is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Angels. Rotowire.com Today, 10:13 pm

  • Enyel De Los Santos gets five-out save vs. Brewers
    Enyel De Los Santos got the final five outs to get a save against the Brewers on Friday.

    Advice: De Los Santos entered when the score was 8-5, so even though the Padres ended up winning by four, it’s still a save situation for the 28-year-old. It’s the first of the season for the right-hander, and it’s unlikely he sees many more chances going forward. Rotoworld Today, 10:00 pm
     
  • Dylan Cease strikes out 10, allows four runs vs. MIL
    Dylan Cease allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision with 10 strikeouts against the Brewers on Friday.

    Advice: Cease needed 106 pitches to get the 14 outs, so he wasn’t able to get the final out needed to qualify for a win. The right-hander did at least help with the punchouts, and he’s now struck out 116 in his 91 1/3 innings in his first year with the Padres. Cease has scuffled in June, and will try and be more efficient — while still missing bats — against the Nationals on Wednesday. Rotoworld Today, 10:00 pm
     
  • Colin Rea ineffective in start against Padres
    Colin Rea gave up five runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Padres on Friday.

    Advice: Rea gave up two homers and four more hits — six total, for those who don’t feel like doing math right now — and he didn’t get a single strikeout while issuing two walks. It was a poor outing for the 33-year-old, but one that didn’t affect his win-loss record because of the run support San Diego gave him Friday night. He’ll take a 3.62 ERA into a schedule start against the Rangers. Rotoworld Today, 10:00 pm
     
  • Ohtani gets Tungsten O’Doyle’d against former team
    Shohei Ohtani homered and reached four times in a 3-2 loss to the Angels on Friday in 10 innings.

    Advice: We’re used to seeing those type of efforts from Ohtani being wasted, but usually it was for the Angels, not against them. The 29-year-old absolutely destroyed a solo blast off Matt Moore in the fifth for his 22nd homer of the year and 55th RBI of the season. The only blemish was a caught stealing for Ohtani, but that was just the second of the season. Rotoworld Today, 9:56 pm
     
  • Trevor Rogers holds Mariners to two runs
    Trevor Rogers held the Mariners to two runs in 6 1/3 innings Friday in a no-decision.

    Advice: Rogers has a 3.29 ERA over his last seven starts, lowering his season mark from 6.57 to 4.90. Still, he’s a tough sell in mixed leagues with his middling strikeout rate while being back by a lousy team. The Marlins’ win tonight was just their second in the 15 games that Rogers has started. Of course, he wasn’t involved in the decision, so he remains 1-8. Rotoworld Today, 9:56 pm
