Castillo has been one of the best in the NL. It continued Thursday in a 4-2 win over the Cubs. He was limited to 5 1/3 innings because of rain but allowed two hits and a walk with six strikeouts. Three of those K's were from his great changeup.

Keller has dealt with command issues for most of the season, which continued in his last start against the Angels, as he walked five. He showed improvement after a tough 30-pitch second inning, rediscovering some of his strike-throwing ability.
RHP
3-2, 5.59 ERA, 43 SO
Wacha has been mired in mediocrity, mostly because of inconsistent fastball command that's decreased the effectiveness of his changeup and led to extended innings. Wacha's velocity has also been down -- perhaps a sign of out-of-sync mechanics.

3-4, 4.73 ERA, 45 SO
The second-year left-hander bounced back in a big way with 5 2/3 sharp innings against the Pirates on Thursday. He'd been scuffling, but Lauer showed tremendous poise to work around three errors and at least as many misplays.

Questions will linger about Straily's rotation status unless the right-hander consistently works deeper into games. He lasted just 3 1/3 innings his last time out, and hasn't
completed five innings in more than a month. He is 1-3 with a 8.51 ERA overall.
