Strickland (1-1) earned the win in relief Thursday against the Cubs after tossing a scoreless fourth inning, fanning two.
EDGE Analysis
Strickland entered the game in the fourth inning after Brandon Woodruff departed the game after three frames, and he made quick work of an anemic Cubs offense since he needed just 17 pitches (10 strikes) to retire the side in order. He's now tossed three straight scoreless outings and has given up just three runs across 10 appearances (10 innings) since the beginning of July, posting a 2.70 ERA and an excellent 0.40 WHIP during that stretch.
