EDGE Analysis

Fiers gave up a three-run home run to Lorenzo Cain in the first inning and recovered well with five consecutive shutout innings. Fiers has just six strikeouts in his first 11 innings and had only seven swinging strikes in Tuesday's game. He'll have to find his swing-and-miss stuff again if he wants to match the 3.32 ERA he posted last year with Houston.
