EDGE Analysis
For the second time in three starts, Eickhoff gave up five-plus runs and eight-plus hits while failing to get past the sixth inning. The sophomore tied his season high for hits allowed, and gave up the third-most runs he's surrendered in any of his 20 starts. Eickhoff lowered his ERA in each month before the break, and started showing signs of a player worthy of a roster spot in a majority of leagues. However, July has thrown a wrench into that idea as he now owns a 6.38 ERA through four starts this month. Eickhoff is now 0-2 this season against the Marlins, but he won't have to wait long to try for that first win, as his next start just so happens to come against the Fish on Tuesday in Miami.
