Cease (3-1) earned the win Tuesday after he pitched seven scoreless innings, giving up just one hit while striking out 11 batters against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Cease was almost perfect Monday, posting a season high 11 strikeouts while allowing just one hit, a double by Taylor Ward in the fourth inning. It was his second straight quality start and he now sports a 2.48 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with a very impressive 12.10 K/9. With Lance Lynn (knee) on the shelf, Cease has stepped up into being a very strong second option in the rotation behind Lucas Giolito early this season.
