Leake allowed three runs, struck out four and walked just one across six innings Sunday versus the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Leake settled down after allowing a pair of runs in the first inning, retiring 16 batters in a row at one point, although he allowed another run in the sixth inning before departing. He has now delivered a pair of quality starts after a disastrous run from late July to early August, though his ERA still sits at an inflated 4.78 for the season. Leake will have the opportunity to continue his positive momentum Sunday in Philadelphia.
