Lauer didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Dodgers after allowing five runs on six hits and two walks while fanning three across five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Lauer had given up one run or fewer in each of his prior five starts, but the wheels came off in this one and he finished with his second-worst mark of the season when it comes to runs allowed. He was facing one of the best offenses in the National League, however, and this poor outing shouldn't erase the great job he's been doing on the mound of late. The southpaw will end the regular season with career-best marks in both ERA (3.19) and WHIP (1.14) across 24 appearances (20 starts).
