EDGE Analysis

Gant was sharp in this one, attacking hitters with 15 first-pitch strikes to the 20 batters he faced, and he also helped out his own cause with a two-run homer in the second inning. The 26-year-old has had a quick hook at times this season, and he was lifted Tuesday after 98 pitches (62 strikes) just two outs away from a quality start. This latest outing brings him to a 3.74 ERA and 1.19 WHIP heading into Sunday's tilt with the Brewers.
