Zach Davies - Turns in quality startDavies allowed three earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out seven across six innings Thursday against the Reds. He did not factor into the decision.

ImpactDavies allowed four hits prior to recording an out, which led to all three of his earned runs coming in the first inning. However, he retired 14 of the final 15 batters he faced to turn in his second consecutive quality start. Davies has also seen an uptick in strikeouts in recent starts, tallying 18 punchouts across his last 19 frames. Overall, he has a 4.21 ERA with a 50:22 K:BB across 62 frames on the season.

Ian Kennedy - Serves as closerKennedy allowed a solo home run but earned the save Thursday against the Reds.

ImpactKennedy entered the game in the ninth inning and was tasked with protecting a two-run lead. He allowed a home run with two outs, but still successfully nailed down his fourth save of the season. It's unclear if Kennedy has completely overtaken Mark Melancon for the closer role, but it appears as if he is in line to earn at least some additional saves moving forward.
