Leake improved to 5-4 Sunday versus the Pirates, allowing three runs (two earned) with six strikeouts and no walks across seven strong innings.

EDGE Analysis

Leake was lights out aside from a rough patch in the fourth inning when all of the damage against him was done, although the rally began with an error. The right-hander was rocked in his last start, so Sunday's rebound performance was a good sign for fantasy owners and gave him six quality starts in his last seven tries. Leake will carry a 4.08 ERA into next Sunday's start versus the Rangers, which he will throw on two extra days' rest.
