EDGE Analysis
After an impressive opening month to the season (2.30 ERA), Kennedy's follow-up was a nothing short of a major letdown. The right-hander averaged 3.2 innings while posting an 11.30 ERA over four May starts. His latest month also brought on a hamstring injury that required a short DL stint. Kennedy's looked much different since returning from the ailment, allowing 14 runs on 10 hits (four home runs) and eight walks over just 10 innings (three starts). Needless to say, the 32-year-old will be happy to flip the calendar to June. His first start of the new month won't be easy, though, as Kennedy draws the Astros -- MLB's best team thus far -- on Tuesday.
