Leake (2-1) dominated the Pirates over eight shutout innings Wednesday, giving up six hits and no walks, though he struck out just two.
A terrific outing for Leake, and although his strikeout rate continues to lag, he's delivered strong results so far this year, with an ERA that now sits at 2.47. However, his FIP is 4.05, as a lot of Leake's success can be attributed to the .185 BABIP against him. Leake's always outpitched his peripherals by a little, but it's not likely that this early success represents a big leap forward.
