EDGE Analysis

Paxton filled up the strike zone at a 73 percent clip while inducing 15 swinging strikes and getting seven groundball outs. Despite this dominance, he faltered in the third and fourth innings, when he allowed three combined runs on four hits. He settled down after that and cruised through the end of the seventh with his fourth double-digit strikeout game since Apr. 26. Paxton, sporting a 3.02 ERA and an 11.2 K/9, will pitch next weekend against the Red Sox.
