In the fifth, he allowed a walk and a single with one out but neutralized the offense with consecutive strikeouts to end the frame. While he didn't strike out a batter in his final two innings of work, he efficiently retired all six batters he faced, needing just 22 pitches. The 26-year-old has not allowed more than one earned run in any of his last 10 starts and is 8-2 with a 0.47 ERA and 79:29 K:BB in 58 innings over that span.

Cease has seen his ERA drop from 4.24 to 2.30 over that stretch, and on the season he also boasts a 1.24 WHIP and 34.4 percent strikeout rate that is second only to Tampa Bay's Shane McClanahan (36.0 percent) among big-league starting pitchers.

Cease was a strikeout machine again Thursday, twice fanning three batters in an inning. The lone run against him came on a Javier Baez solo homer in the fourth. The 26-year-old has fanned eight batters or more in five of his last six starts and has allowed one earned run or fewer in eight straight starts. His next start will likely be early next week in Cleveland.

Cease (7-3) registered the win during Saturday's 5-3 victory over San Francisco, allowing one run on four hits and three walks with four strikeouts in five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Cease's lone run surrendered came on his second pitch as LaMonte Wade took him 424-feet deep to right center, but he proceeded to navigate five scoreless frames thereafter despite traffic on the bases in every inning. The 26-year-old induced a whopping 19 swinging strikes on 104 pitches, but tied his second lowest total of the season with only four strikeouts and still ranks second in the league with 125. On the other hand, the three free passes added to his league-leading total of 40 through 86 innings. Cease has allowed just two earned runs (and 10 more unearned runs) over 39.1 innings across his last seven starts and will look to keep things rolling against Detroit midweek.

Cease (6-3) earned the win Sunday over Baltimore, fanning 13 in seven innings while allowing one run on four hits and a walk.

EDGE Analysis

It was his second consecutive double-digit strikeout performance and he finished the month of June with 45 punchouts in 27.1 innings. His 13.4 strikeouts per nine innings lead all of baseball. The 26-year-old's next start will likely be next weekend in San Francisco.

Cease struck out 11 in six scoreless innings while allowing a hit and two walks. He did not factor into the decision in a 7-6 win Tuesday against Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Cease baffled the Toronto lineup, striking out 11 of the 20 batters he faced. He left the game with a 2-0 lead but Chicago's bullpen blew the save and his opportunity to earn his sixth victory. The 26-year-old did not allow an earned run for the fifth straight start, although 10 unearned runs have scored against him in that span. It was the third time this season that he fanned 11 opponents in a game.

Cease (5-3) earned the win Tuesday in Detroit, allowing one unearned run on seven hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

Cease was inefficient once again, needing 108 pitches to record 15 outs, but it was enough for the right-hander to get back in the win column for the first time in nearly a month. Amazingly, all 10 runs scored against Cease in his last four starts have been unearned. He's been walking a fine line with 15 walks in that span (21.1 innings).
