Dodgers' Walker Buehler: Drops to 1-5

4h ago

Buehler (1-5) took the loss against the Cubs on Monday, allowing five runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out four batters over five innings.

Buehler fell behind 3-0 after one inning and gave up another run in the fourth. He began the sixth inning on the mound but allowed the first two hitters in the frame to reach base and was subsequently pulled. The right-hander has struggled since returning Aug. 14 from a nearly two-month stint on the injured list, posting a 6.14 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB over 22 innings across five starts. The Dodgers have remained committed to giving him an opportunity to round back into the form that made him their Opening Day starter in 2022, but he hasn't been able to put things together this season and isn't a lock to make the team's potential postseason roster.

Cubs' Kyle Hendricks: Logs another short outing

4h ago

Hendricks allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out two batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Monday.

Hendricks got through four scoreless frames but allowed four straight batters to reach base with one out in the fifth. That earned him the hook, marking the third time in his past four outings that he's been unable to complete five innings. Hendricks has posted a 7.47 ERA and 2.17 WHIP over 15.2 frames during that stretch while walking more batters (10) than he's struck out (nine). He may move back to the bullpen when Justin Steele (elbow) is able to return from the injured list.

Twins' David Festa: Takes sixth loss

4h ago

Festa (2-6) allowed four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four batters over four innings in a loss to the Angels on Monday.

Festa fell behind quickly in the contest, giving up a pair of runs on a walk and two hits in the first inning. The other two runs he allowed came on a two-run Brandon Drury homer in the third frame. The rookie right-hander has lost each of his past four starts, though this was the first time in that span that he's given up more than three runs. Despite going 1-5 since the All-Star break, Festa has been fairly effective, posting a 3.70 ERA and 54:15 K:BB over 41.1 innings.

Angels' Reid Detmers: Impressive again Monday

5h ago

Detmers (4-6) earned the win over Minnesota on Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight batters over six innings.

Detmers racked up 14 whiffs in the outing after notching 18 in his previous start last Tuesday against the Dodgers. The left-hander has notched a quality start in each of his two appearances since returning from the minors, recording a total of 18 strikeouts while giving up just four runs over 12 frames during that span. Detmers has shown stretches of dominance before -- he opened this season with a 1.19 ERA and 30:7 K:BB over his first four starts, for example -- but has also had frustrating bouts of ineffectiveness. He'll likely remain in the Angels' rotation for the remainder of the campaign and look to finish strong in hopes of building momentum toward what will likely be a rotation spot to open the 2025 season.

Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Fans 10 in first MLB victory

6h ago

Cantillo (1-3) earned the win over the White Sox on Monday, allowing one run on two hits while striking out 10 batters over seven innings.

Cantillo made things look easy against an unintimidating White Sox lineup, racking up 14 whiffs and carrying a perfect game into the bottom of the seventh frame. The rookie southpaw faded a bit in that inning, giving up a pair of two-out singles sandwiched around a wild pitch that allowed Chicago to get on the scoreboard, but that took only a tiny bit of shine off what was by far the best performance of his big-league career thus far. Given Cantillo's performance Monday, it wouldn't be surprising if he gets another turn in the rotation, though it's not clear how Cleveland would adjust its rotation to fit him in -- his opportunity Monday came as a result of the struggling Ben Lively having his scheduled start pushed back.

Royals' Brady Singer: Decent in no-decision

7h ago

Singer didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Yankees, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks across five innings. He struck out three.

All three runs attributed to Singer came in the fourth inning when Singer yielded a pair of hits -- including a two-run home run to Alex Verdugo -- and a walk. The start pushed Singer's season inning total to a career-high 163.1 and the right-hander holds a 3.42 ERA and a 153:46 K:BB. He's on track to face the Pirates in Pittsburgh this weekend.
