Burnes did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing five runs on five hits and no walks over 4.2 innings against the Marlins. He struck out four.

Burnes wasn't particularly effective, notably surrendering back-to-back homers in the fourth inning. It was a step back for the right-hander, as he twirled three shutout innings in his season debut last week against the Royals after completing his recovery from Tommy John surgery and a teres major strain. Burnes built up to 75 pitches (48 strikes) in his home debut Monday. The 31-year-old's next start is tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Yankees.

Anderson (1-2) took the loss Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and no walks over 4.1 innings against the Angels. He struck out five.

After looking good in his first big-league win Wednesday, Anderson wasn't able to replicate that performance in Anaheim, being charged with five runs and exiting at 72 pitches (50 strikes). The southpaw's dominance in the minors has yet to translate to the big-league level, as he owns a 5.33 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB through 25.1 innings (five starts). Anderson is lined up to make his next start in Colorado over the weekend.

Detmers (6-8) earned the win Monday, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings against the Mariners. He struck out eight.

Detmers was tagged for a three-run homer in the fourth inning courtesy of Cal Raleigh, but he still churned out a quality start and picked up his second straight win. The southpaw has been brilliant in the second half, posting a 1.65 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 76:11 K:BB across 65.1 innings (11 starts) since the All-Star break. On the year, Detmers owns a 3.36 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 199:46 K:BB in 174 innings (30 starts), and he is tentatively scheduled to pitch Saturday against the Twins.

Sugano (12-10) took the loss Monday, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk over five innings against the Padres. He struck out two.

Sugano was tagged for all six runs in the first three frames, including two homers, resulting in his fifth loss over his past six outings. On the year, the right-hander owns a 5.49 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 86:34 K:BB in 142.2 innings (27 starts). Sugano's next start is lined up to come against the Mariners over the weekend.

Mize (6-9) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings against the Rockies. He did not record a strikeout.

Mize permitted plenty of traffic on the bases but ultimately limited the damage enough at Coors Field to pick up the win. The right-hander has struggled since joining the Padres, posting a 5.97 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 22:12 K:BB in 37.2 innings (eight starts) with his new team. With an overall 3.69 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 107:31 K:BB across 124.1 innings (24 starts), Mize is tentatively scheduled to pitch Saturday against the Marlins.

Williams (13-8) took the loss Monday against the White Sox, striking out seven while allowing two runs on four hits and three walks in five innings.

Williams didn't work particularly efficiently Monday, needing a season-high 113 pitches to complete five innings. It's possible the right-hander had a longer leash after receiving a few days of extra rest in between starts, and he's now tossed at least five innings while conceding fewer than three runs in three straight outings to open the month of September. He's lined up for a soft home matchup against the Athletics over the weekend, holding a 3.78 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 235:56 K:BB over 174 innings.

Burke (9-7) earned the win Monday against Cleveland, striking out four while allowing an unearned run on four hits and two walks in five innings of relief.

Working behind opener Sean Newcomb on Monday, Burke kept the Guardians scoreless until permitting an unearned run in the sixth inning. It was a resounding bounce-back effort after the right-hander was shelled for seven runs his last time out versus Pittsburgh. He'll bring a respectable 3.47 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 173:58 K:BB over 161 innings into his next scheduled outing against the Tigers.

Lodolo (3-5) took the loss Monday against the Dodgers, striking out four while allowing four runs on three hits and four walks in seven innings.

Lodolo gave the Reds length but was hit hard when contact was made, serving up a pair of home runs on the evening. It was the longest outing of the season for the southpaw, who has issued multiple free passes in six straight starts and nine of his last 10. He'll take a disappointing 5.12 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 79:42 K:BB over 96.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the division-rival Cubs.

Mathews (2-3) allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out eight over 6.2 innings to earn the win over the Giants on Monday.

Mathews has posted quality starts in each of his last two outings. He limited the damage to Jonah Cox's RBI single in the sixth inning of this contest, marking the fourth time in seven games in which Mathews has given up just one run. Through 37.1 innings, he's maintained a 3.62 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 36:16 K:BB. The left-hander is projected to make his next start at home versus the Nationals.

Skubal (10-7) earned the win Monday against the Reds, striking out nine while allowing three hits and one walk in seven scoreless innings.

Skubal was dialed in Monday, scattering three singles across seven dominant frames. The All-Star southpaw has either logged a quality start or pitched at least five innings while yielding fewer than three runs in six consecutive outings and 13 of his last 14. He's set to finish a two-start week this weekend against the lowly Giants, sporting a 2.70 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 173:25 K:BB over 146.2 innings.
