  • Fans seven in loss
    Dunning (2-2) took the loss Tuesday against Seattle, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out seven.

    Advice: Dunning was hit hard Tuesday, surrendering four extra-base hits, including a pair of two-run home runs by Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh. He's allowed a home run in all five of his starts this season and is tied for the second-most homers allowed in MLB (seven). Despite his power troubles, Dunning has been a quality source of strikeouts, punching out seven batters in three of his five starts this season. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Reds on Sunday.

  • Justin Lawrence gets save in rare Rockies’ win
    Justin Lawrence turned in a scoreless ninth for his first save Tuesday against the Padres.

    Advice: It’s just the second save by a Rockies pitcher this season. Jake Bird had the other one on Apr. 8, for getting one out in a game that wasn’t a save situation at the beginning of the ninth. Lawrence has looked better than Tyler Kinley thus far and is probably the favorite for saves in Colorado for now, though Victor Vodnik might be the choice in the long run. We’d still suggest staying away from the situation for now. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
     
  • Michael King gets roughed up in fourth in loss
    Michael King was tagged for six runs — four earned — in 3 2/3 innings by the Rockies on Tuesday.

    Advice: King’s first start at Coors Field was going OK until the fourth, when two singles, an error and a grand slam gave the Rockies the lead. Alas, that still wasn’t the end of it, as King went on to allow a single, a double, an intentional walk and an unintentional walk to push in another run. He was finally pulled at that point, and Stephen Kolek was able to strand the bases loaded. King dropped to 2-2 with a 4.11 ERA. He’s still a decent enough play versus the Phillies next time out.

  • Goes 6.2 scoreless
    Gilbert (2-0) picked up the win Tuesday against Texas, allowing two hits and four walks across 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out six.

    Advice: Gilbert surpassed six innings pitched for the fourth time in five starts this season, notching his first scoreless outing of the campaign. He battled issues with command and walked a pair of batters in the first but otherwise kept himself out of danger. He was removed from the contest with runners on first and third but was saved by Ryne Stanek, who forced Leody Taveras into an inning-ending groundout. Gilbert has posted four quality starts this season and boasts the most innings pitched (33.2) of anybody with fewer than six starts. He's scheduled for a Sunday start against Arizona.

  • Logab Gilbert combines with three on shutout
    Logan Gilbert pitched two-hit ball for 6 2/3 innings as the Mariners shut out the Rangers 4-0 on Tuesday.

    Advice: Gilbert was wild early and ended up walking four, but it didn’t matter. He topped out at 98.5 mph tonight while striking out six and lowering his ERA to 1.87. He’s due to face the Diamondbacks next. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
     
  • Dane Dunning gives up two homers in defeat
    Dane Dunning yielded four runs in 4 1/3 innings Tuesday in a loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: Dunning struck out seven, but two-run homers from Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodríguez ruined his night. Dunning has now given up seven homers in 27 1/3 innings for the year, which is why his ERA sits at 4.61 in spite of a nice 29/6 K/BB ratio. He’s an occasional streaming option in mixed leagues, but he doesn’t seem like a great play at home against Cincinnati this weekend. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago

  • Notches first big-league save
    Allen picked up the save Tuesday against St. Louis, allowing one hit and one walk with two strikeouts over three scoreless innings.

    Advice: The Diamondbacks only needed to use two arms during Tuesday's 14-1 rout, with Allen taking over for starter Tommy Henry in the seventh and closing out the game. The save was Allen's first of his five-year MLB career (34 appearances) and the outing marked his second appearance with the D-Backs this season. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Dazzles in win
    Henry (1-1) earned the win Tuesday against St. Louis, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out six.

    Advice: Henry was optioned to Triple-A Reno on April 17 after logging a 6.87 ERA in four starts with the Diamondbacks. However, with Kyle Nelson (shoulder) and Merill Kelly (shoulder) being placed on the IL, Henry rejoined the big league club for Tuesday's start. He tied his season high in strikeouts and didn't allow multiple runs for the first time all year en route to a quality start. His impressive outing likely bought him another go-around in Arizona's rotation, with a tentative matchup against the Dodgers set for Monday. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
     
  • Rocked by D-Backs
    Matz (1-2) took the loss Tuesday against Arizona, allowing seven runs on six hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out four

After giving up three earned runs in his first 15.0 innings, Matz has surrendered 12 earned runs in his last two starts (9.1 innings) with eight K's and six walks. He's lined up to face the Tigers in Detroit on Monday. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago
