Lauer didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Dodgers after allowing five runs on six hits and two walks while fanning three across five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Lauer had given up one run or fewer in each of his prior five starts, but the wheels came off in this one and he finished with his second-worst mark of the season when it comes to runs allowed. He was facing one of the best offenses in the National League, however, and this poor outing shouldn't erase the great job he's been doing on the mound of late. The southpaw will end the regular season with career-best marks in both ERA (3.19) and WHIP (1.14) across 24 appearances (20 starts).

Lauer (7-5) allowed one run on three hits while walking two and striking out nine as he got the win over the Mets on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Lauer continued his streak of dominance with his third win over his last four starts. The 26-year-old has allowed one run or less in each of his five starts in September and recorded a season-high nine strikeouts Friday. The Mets got to him in the opening frame after Brandon Nimmo tripled to lead off the game and Francisco Lindor grounded out to the shortstop to bring him home. Lauer has definitely solidified himself as the Brewers' No. 4 pitcher heading into the postseason, but first is projected for a showdown against the Dodgers next week. He'll carry a 2.93 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 114:39 K:BB into his next start.

Lauer didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Cubs after allowing one run on 5.1 innings, giving up one hit and three walks while fanning six.
EDGE Analysis
Lauer has been pitching at a high level of late, allowing one or fewer runs in each of his previous four starts while also posting two quality starts in that stretch. He has gone 2-0 with a blistering 1.09 ERA in September and seems to be gearing up for a strong end of the regular season.

EDGE Analysis
Lauer torched Cleveland to start the contest, rolling through five no-hit innings before finally running into trouble in the sixth. He coughed up three straight singles, including an RBI base knock by Myles Straw. He's now 2-0 with a 0.93 ERA over 19.1 frames in his last three outings. Lauer lowered his season ERA to 3.10 with a 99:34 K:BB. He's lined up to face the Cubs at home next weekend.

Lauer will start Sunday against Cleveland, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Lauer (5-5) earned the win Tuesday over Philadelphia. He allowed just four hits and a walk with five strikeouts across seven shutout innings.
EDGE Analysis
September is treating Lauer well so far, as he's allowed just one run, seven hits and two walks across 14 innings in his two starts this month. Philadelphia couldn't get a runner past second base on the southpaw's watch Tuesday. With the stellar start, Lauer lowered his ERA to 3.18 with a 1.18 WHIP and 91:33 K:BB through 96.1 innings this season. He'll look to keep rolling next week in Detroit.

Lauer allowed one run on three hits and a walk over seven innings in Thursday's no-decision against the Giants. He had four strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Lauer put together his longest start of the season, going seven full innings for the first time since June 2019. After giving up a leadoff homer to Austin Slater to start the game, followed by a Darin Ruf walk three batters later, Lauer yielded just one baserunner the rest of the way, and that was the result of a Jace Peterson error. Lauer has just one win (1-2) in his last eight outings, but he's posted a 2.54 ERA during that stretch.

Lauer (4-5) yielded two runs on six hits and two walks over 4.2 innings Friday, striking out six and taking a loss against Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Lauer coughed up a two-run homer to Josh Donaldson in the first inning but avoided any further damage. He needed 102 pitches (63 strikes) to get through 4.2 frames and has now failed to finish five innings in three straight starts. The 26-year-old's ERA is now up to 3.61 through 82.1 innings. Lauer is lined up to face the Giants on the road next week.

Lauer didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Nationals, giving up three runs on five hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander gave up two runs in the top of the first inning before exiting the game in the fifth after 76 pitches (52 strikes) on the hook for his fifth loss of the season, but Milwaukee's offense bailed Lauer out with three runs in the bottom of the frame. The 26-year-old will take a 3.59 ERA and 76:29 K:BB through 77.2 innings into his next outing.

Lauer allowed one run on three hits and struck out six across four innings in a no-decision versus Pittsburgh on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
After missing a week and a half on the COVID-19 injured list, Lauer's return to action was fairly short. He threw 49 of 72 pitches for strikes before Brent Suter relieved him. Lauer continues to have the upper hand over the Pirates, as he's allowed just three runs in 18.1 innings in four appearances versus the Brewers' NL Central rivals. The southpaw owns a 3.44 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 73:26 K:BB across 73.1 innings overall. He's projected to make his next start versus Washington next weekend.
