Leake did not factor in the decision during Wednesday's loss despite holding the Cardinals scoreless over 7.2 innings while scattering five hits and seven strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Leake put on quite a show in front of his former team, blanking the Cardinals without issuing any free passes. The right-hander punched out Yadier Molina and Kolten Wong in the eighth inning and probably would have stayed in if he hadn't allowed a single to Harrison Bader on his 96th pitch. Regardless, Leake exited the game in line for the win with a 2-0 lead, which was completely destroyed by the bullpen. On the bright side, the 31-year-old has not issued any walks in eight of his 18 starts. He'll carry a 4.32 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 83:17 K:BB into the All-Star break.
