Leiter (2-5) took the loss after allowing nine runs - eight earned - on nine hits while striking out two batters over 3.1 innings Monday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

It was a rare blowup from Leiter, who hadn't allowed more than four runs in any of his six starts prior to Monday's shellacking. The poor outing raised his ERA from 3.88 to 4.74, but he still owns a serviceable 1.30 WHIP and 7.8 K/9. He'll look to bounce back in his next scheduled start, which is projected for Saturday against a tough Nationals team.
