EDGE Analysis

Making his first start of the season after Zach Godley was placed on the IL, Lauer was able to shut down the Dodgers high-powered offense before being pulled with only 73 pitches. It was an encouraging first outing after a disastrous 2020 campaign and may have earned Lauer another turn in the rotation.
