Zac Gallen (elbow) cleared to resume throwing

Holmes had only two batters reach against him through six, both on walks. He came out for the seventh and walked another before Andrew Benintendi broke up the no-hitter with a single. He was pulled then, and Didier Fuentes came in and struck out three in a row to keep the game 2-0. Holmes improved to 8-5 with a 3.64 ERA. There’s been talk about shifting him to the pen, but he hasn’t made it an easy call, with the Braves winning eight of his last nine starts. He’ll face the Dodgers next week.

It’s been a tough month for Iglesias, but he had no issues today. He’s 26-for-29 in his save chances this season.

Kay struck out six and walked one. He allowed one run through six before giving up a double to Michael Harris II to start the seventh and immediately being lifted afterwards. Harris later came around to score. Kay has given up three runs or fewer in nine straight starts, going 3-3 with a 3.23 ERA during the span. He’ll take his next turn Tuesday against the Rangers.

The Braves have him batting eighth, but Riley is hitting .290/.318/.532 this month. Unfortunately, he’s also still striking out a ton; today’s game was his fifth in row with two strikeouts.

The 31-year-old righty struck out four batters in the ballgame. The A’s put at least two men on base against him in every frame, but Dobnak was somehow able to wiggle his way out of it each time. They loaded the bases against him with one out in the second inning, but Dobnak was able to escape damage with a strike out and a ground out. He also induced double plays in the first and fourth innings to assist in his Houdini act. He needed 96 pitches (57 strikes) to get 12 outs though, which cost him what would have been an easy victory in this one. He’ll try again to earn that third victory as he carries a 1.58 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 29/20 K/BB ratio (45 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s skirmish against the Blue Jays in Toronto.

Butler singled in the top half of the first inning but was left stranded there. He then worked a one-out walk in the fifth and scored the A’s first run on an RBI single off the bat of Brian Serven. He also led off the seventh inning with a single but was cut down attempting to steal second base. With his two-hit afternoon, the 26-year-old outfielder is slashing an unimpressive .218/.309/.358 with 11 homers, 36 RBI and nine stolen bases in 392 plate appearances on the season.

The 23-year-old southpaw walked three batters in the ballgame while striking out three. He served up a solo homer to Bobby Witt Jr. in the opening inning, then the Royals added on with two runs each on the third and fourth innings. Jump generated just five whiffs on 86 pitches on the day, posting an uninspiring CSW of 24 percent. He’ll look to bounce back as he brings an uneven 4.83 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and an 88/40 K/BB ratio (82 innings) into Tuesday’s start against the Twins.

The 28-year-old left-hander was just optioned out to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, but he’ll rejoin the Angels’ bullpen with Samy Natera Jr. (back) heading to the injured list. Peralta has posted a 7.94 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and a 9/3 K/BB ratio over 5 2/3 innings in four appearances between the Angels and Rockies on the season.

It’s unclear how long the Angels expect the 26-year-old southpaw to be sidelined for, but he’ll miss a couple of weeks at a minimum. Sammy Peralta was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake in a corresponding move on Thursday to take Natera’s place in the Halos’ bullpen.

The seesaw game saw the Cardinals go up 4-0 in the third, the Reds come back to take a 5-4 lead in the sixth, the Cardinals score six runs after an error in the top of the ninth and the Reds fall just short of another comeback while scoring four runs in the bottom of the ninth. There were a total of 14 walks and three HBPs on the day, and both teams had more runs scored than hits (10 to 8 for the Cards, 9 to 7 for the Reds). Walker’s homer, the Cardinals’ lone extra-base hit, was his 26th of the year. He went without one for 19 games after the Home Run Derby, but he’s rebounded with four in his last 13 games.
