Best Pitcher: Logan Gilbert

7.0 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 9 K

Despite pulling out of the all-star game in order to maintain his scheduled start in the rotation without disrupting his rest, Gilbert still put on an all-star performance in the final game of the series. He had 14 swinging strikes, eight of which were on his slider, and 20 called strikes, 10 of which were on his four-seam fastball. By Baseball-Reference game score, it was the second-best outing of the season trailing just his eight-inning masterclass against the Rangers on June 16.

Honorable Mention: Luis Castillo

6.0 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K

Castillo pitched a scoreless quality start in the first game of the series, although he likely didn't have to work that hard with 11 runs of support behind him. He still managed to pick up 12 swings and misses, nine of which were on his four-seam fastball. After rough starts towards the end of June, he's managed to give up just one run in his first two starts of July.
