Falter (5-7) allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and struck out three without walking a batter over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Astros on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Falter missed most of July while recovering from left triceps tendinitis. He was good in his return, though he allowed a home run to Yainer Diaz. Falter threw 47 of his 66 pitches for strikes, so it may take him another couple of starts to get fully stretched out. The southpaw now has a 3.95 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 64:28 K:BB through 95.2 innings over 18 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Padres.
