Joely Rodríguez - Stuck with loss SundayRodriguez (1-2) allowed four runs on four hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Sunday versus Houston.

Chas McCormick added a two-run single against Rodriguez, and reliever Brett Martin allowed an inherited runner to score. Rodriguez had pitched 10 straight scoreless innings prior to Sunday. He now has a 4.76 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 12 appearances, and he's also collected five holds.

Kyle Gibson - Eighth straight quality startGibson allowed two runs on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts over seven innings versus Houston on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.
ImpactGibson left with the game tied at 2-2, but reliever Joely Rodriguez gave up four runs in the eighth inning. The 33-year-old Gibson has been on quite a roll lately with eight straight quality starts, but he's only earned the win in three of them. The right-hander has a 2.32 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB across 54.1 innings. His next start is expected to be during next weekend's home series versus Houston.

Andre Scrubb - Allows two-run homerScrubb (leg) allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one in one inning in Sunday's 6-2 win over Texas. He was charged with a blown save.
ImpactThe right-hander was unavailable Saturday after he tweaked something in his leg, but it was apparently a short-term issue. Scrubb wasn't very effective Sunday, as he gave up a game-tying two-run home run to David Dahl in the seventh inning. The 26-year-old reliever owns a 4.70 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 6:4 K:BB across 7.2 innings after he began the season on the injured list with a shoulder injury.
