Sharp in third win
Lodolo (3-2) earned the win Sunday over the Orioles, allowing a run on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.
Analysis
Lodolo was solid Sunday, as he held Baltimore scoreless through five innings before ultimately allowing a lone run on Coby Mayo's two-out single in the sixth. The win is Lodolo's first since May 31 -- that was also the last time he went at least six innings in a start. While his workload had been limited of late, Lodolo has now allowed just one run across 15 innings in his last three outings. The southpaw has lowered his ERA to 4.68 across 11 starts (57.2 innings) this season with a 1.46 WHIP and 46:24 K:BB. Lodolo is tentatively in line to face the Cubs at home his next time out.

Let down by bullpen in no-decision
Lodolo did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing a hit and four walks over five scoreless innings against the Brewers. He struck out four.
Analysis
Lodolo limited the opposition to just one hit, though he struggled with control before being lifted after five innings and 96 pitches (52 strikes). The southpaw exited with his club leading 3-0 and in line for the win, but a poor showing from the Cincinnati bullpen kept him from factoring into the decision. The 28-year-old has largely struggled in 2026, though he has now turned in consecutive scoreless outings after tossing four shutout innings against Milwaukee in his previous start. He exited that start early after taking a Jackson Chourio line drive off his left wrist. Lodolo will take a 2-2 record with a 5.05 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 42:22 K:BB across 51.2 innings (10 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against Baltimore.
