McFarland fired a scoreless eighth inning during which he issued a walk and recorded a strikeout during a win over the Cubs on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran left-hander has quickly taken to his new St. Louis digs, now putting together three straight scoreless appearances and notching both a win and Thursday's hold along the way. McFarland has already made four trips to the mound in less than a week with the Cardinals, which would seem to bode well for fantasy managers who've taken a flyer on him in deep formats.
