Leake (7-7) allowed just one run on six hits and struck out 11 over six innings in a win Monday over the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

After striking out no more than six batters in a start all season, Leake now has double-digit strikeouts in consecutive starts, with 11 marking a new season high. Leake is still throwing a fastball that hovers around 90 MPH and doesn't have a premier breaking pitch, so he should return to his old control-heavy, pitch-to-contact self soon -- in seven MLB seasons, he has yet to post a K/9 of 7.0 or better.
