Dodgers' Dustin May: Dazzles in win over White Sox
Rotowire
May (5-5) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out nine over seven-plus innings to earn the win over the White Sox on Thursday.
May retired the first 16 batters he faced in this dominant outing, which also saw him pitch into the eighth inning for the first time this year. That's when he started to fade, allowing a two-run home run to Brooks Baldwin that ended the outing. May was mediocre in June, posting a 5.67 ERA across 27 innings over his five starts, but July is off to a better start for him after he took advantage of an easy matchup. The right-hander is now at a 4.52 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 84:36 K:BB over 89.2 innings through 16 starts. His next outing is expected to be on the road versus the Brewers.

Dodgers' Dustin May: Battles to no-decision
Rotowire
May took a no-decision after throwing four innings, allowing four runs on six hits and three walks while striking out three in Friday's 5-4 win over the Royals.
May battled through his shortest start of the season. Walks were again an issue for the 27-year-old -- after three more walks against the Royals, he has now walked 13 batters over his last four starts. It will be interesting to see how the right-hander will hold up over the second half of the season, as he's already up to over 82 innings on the year, well past his previous career high of 56 innings.

Dodgers' Dustin May: Rattled by homers in loss
Rotowire
May (4-5) took the loss against Washington on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five batters over six innings.
May got through three scoreless frames before James Wood and Luis Garcia Jr. tagged him for back-to-back solo homers in the fourth. Nathaniel Lowe tacked on another solo homer in the sixth, and the Dodgers were unable to provide enough offense to take the righty hurler off the hook. May did manage to notch a quality start -- his second straight and his seventh of the season -- so the end result wasn't a complete disaster. His next matchup is expected to be a road matchup versus Kansas City.

Dodgers' Dustin May: Picks up fourth win
Rotowire
May (4-4) allowed three runs on six hits and four walks while striking out three over six innings to earn the win over the Giants on Sunday.
May gave up all three runs in the fourth inning, but the Dodgers regained the lead on an Andy Pages three-run homer in the fifth. That was enough to give May his first win over three starts in June -- he's allowed 11 runs (10 earned) with a 9:10 K:BB over 17 innings this month. The right-hander has pitched to a 4.46 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 67:30 K:BB through 72.2 innings through 13 starts on the year. May is tentatively scheduled to draw a home start versus the Nationals his next time out.
May allowed six runs (five earned) on six hits and four walks while striking out one over five innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Monday.
May gave up all six runs within the first three innings. He ended the outing with 89 pitches (48 strikes) but exited with the game tied, sparing him the loss despite not having his best stuff. The four walks were a season high, while the one strikeout matched his season low. May's poor outing put him at a 4.46 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 64:26 K:BB across 66.2 innings over 12 starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Giants this weekend.
Dodgers' Dustin May: Posts quality start in no-decision
Rotowire
May allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out five batters over six innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Monday.
May gave up a homer to Francisco Lindor on his second pitch of the game but sailed pretty smoothly thereafter, allowing just one additional run over his six frames. The right-hander tossed an efficient 88 pitches (58 strikes) but induced just five whiffs, though he did manage a respectable five punchouts. May has recorded a quality start in three of his past five outings and has a 3.77 ERA during that span. He's lined up to make his next start on the road against St. Louis.
May (3-4) allowed three runs on four hits and two walks over five innings Tuesday, striking out nine and earning a win over Cleveland.
May worked through three scoreless frames before coughing up a three-run shot to Daniel Schneemann in the fourth inning. Beyond that, May didn't face much trouble as he struck out a season-high nine batters. He's posted an impressive 25:5 K:BB over his last three starts, but he's given up eight runs over 16 frames during that span. May is sporting a 4.20 ERA with a 58:20 K:BB through 55.2 innings this season. He's lined up to face the Mets at home next week, when he'll look for a third straight win.
May (2-4) earned the win over Arizona on Wednesday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out eight batters over six innings.
May had hit a bit of a rough patch coming into Wednesday, posting a 6.51 ERA over his previous five starts. The right-hander turned things around in fine fashion against Arizona, however, notching his fourth quality start of the campaign but just his second over his past six appearances. May actually was in position to take the loss when he threw his final pitch, but a three-run home run by Teoscar Hernandez in the bottom of the sixth inning turned a 1-0 Dodgers deficit into a 3-1 lead and resulted in the hurler's second victory of the campaign. May had plenty of positive takeaways from this outing -- he tied a season high with eight punchouts and racked up 14 whiffs -- and will look to build upon the victory in what's projected to be a road start in Cleveland his next time on the mound.
