Lackey earned a no decision Sunday against the Brewers, allowing just one run with seven strikeouts and two walks in seven strong innings.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran was in line to win the game upon exiting, but a seven-run eruption in the ninth inning gave Milwaukee the win. Lackey has been excellent this season, with a 2.69 ERA through 214 innings, and his next scheduled start will come Saturday against the Braves.

Lackey won his 13th game as he allowed one run on nine hits over seven innings Tuesday against Cincinnati. He struck out seven and didn't walk a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Lackey was strong, as he induced 12 swinging strikes and 10 ground balls in 106 pitches. His only blemish was a solo home run by the red-hot Jay Bruce in the first innings, and he sliced and diced the Reds lineup for the rest of the night. Lackey is on a roll, with six consecutive quality starts and a beautiful 50:13 K:BB in 47.1 innings in that span. His ERA is down to 2.74.

Lackey (12-9) shut out the Brewers over seven innings Thursday, striking out eight while allowing five hits and a pair of walks.

EDGE Analysis

Lackey's stunning season continues, as he reduced his already career-best ERA to 2.79 -- its lowest mark since his second start of the year. At age 36, little was expected of Lackey in his second year with the Cardinals, but there's some kind of magic for pitchers in St. Louis. He next gets a rematch with the Reds, who whiffed 10 times against him last Friday.

Lackey allowed just two runs over seven innings against the Reds on Friday night, but the game was suspended due to rain with the score tied 2-2 heading into the eighth inning.

EDGE Analysis

The game will be completed on Saturday prior to the regularly scheduled game.

Lackey took a no decision despite a quality start Monday against Washington, as he allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and four walks over six innings. He struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

Lackey was erratic but electric, as he induced 17 swinging strikes in 105 pitches and had Nationals off balance, recording seven ground balls against three fly balls. Lackey now has quality starts in 14 of his last 15 outings and has dropped his ERA from 3.74 to 2.87 in that span.

Lackey (7-5) allowed one run on five hits over 6.2 innings in a no-decision in Pittsburgh on Saturday, while striking out five and walking two. Lackey left the game with a 3-1 lead, but the Pirates ended up tying the game in the eighth inning. The 36-year-old's 7-5 record at the All-Star break is exactly halfway to his 14-10 record from a year ago, but his 2015 ERA is almost full run lower (2.99 to 3.82). Lackey has churned out six straight quality starts since getting roughed up in Colorado on June 8, and he seems primed to carry his current hot streak into the second half.

Lackey tossed a gem Monday, shutting out the Cubs for seven innings to earn the win. Since a disastrous outing in Colorado in early June, Lackey hasn't allowed more than two runs in a start. The veteran now owns a 3.09 ERA this season after struggling through 10 starts in St. Louis a year ago. Lackey's next start will come this weekend against the Pirates.

Lackey (6-5) allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six Wednesday against the White Sox. Including Wednesday's seven inning effort, Lackey has worked seven or more innings for the sixth time in seven starts. The 36-year-old has had four straight quality starts and he'll look to make it five in a row in his next start when he faces off against the other Chicago team -- the Cubs -- on Monday.

Lackey struck out five and walked three while holding the Cubs to two runs on eight hits over seven innings in a no-decision Friday night. The Cards scratched out a run against the Cubs in the eighth inning and enabled Lackey to spit the hook in the process. Although his strikeout rate has dipped this season (17.4% K%, 6.6 K/9), Lackey has found a way to remain effective as an innings eater for the St. Louis rotation. He'll face the Padres at home in his next start Thursday.

Lackey got the win Saturday with seven innings of one-run ball, throwing three strikeouts along the way. Lackey's gone seven innings or longer in four of his last five starts, getting the win in each of his longer outings. However, he hasn't reached more than six strikeouts since May. His next start will come against the Cubs next Friday.
