Leake (0-2) took the loss Monday against the Cubs as he allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk. He struck out six.

EDGE Analysis

Leake's ERA is still ugly at 5.71, but he seems to be settling in over his past two starts. Monday's outing marks his first quality start -- against a great lineup in the Cubs at that -- and he now has 12 strikeouts against two walks in his past two starts, covering 13 innings. Leake's stuff is fringey and that puts a cap on his value, but he's trending in the right direction.
