EDGE Analysis

The rookie's second major league start wasn't nearly as impressive as his first, but Eickhoff was able to calm things down after giving up three runs in the first inning, retiring 16 consecutive Mets before giving up a couple hits and the fourth run in his final inning of work. The 25-year-old wasn't terribly impressive for Triple-A Round Rock (4.25 ERA) before being dealt to the Phillies in the Cole Hamels deal, but he did better following the move to the International League, posting a 2.49 ERA over three starts with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. At age 25, he's not exactly a prospect, especially with his fringe secondary stuff, but he's got a good line on staying in the Phillies' rotation for the duration of the season.
