EDGE Analysis
Though he didn't allow any runs through the first two frames, Vargas found his groove in the middle innings, at one point retiring 11 consecutive batters -- seven of which came on strikeouts. The only major blemish in his line came on a solo home run by Jean Segura in the sixth inning. Despite that, it was an excellent outing for Vargas as his season-high 10 strikeouts were backed up by 16 swinging strikes on 77 total pitches. Vargas has been surprisingly effective this season, maintaining a 3.66 ERA and 1.28 WHIP to go along with a 57:28 K:BB across 66.1 innings. He'll look to keep things going in his next start, currently scheduled for Tuesday against the Yankees.
