Ted Lilly had an off night in Wednesday's loss to the Diamondbacks, getting shelled to the tune of eight runs on nine hits and five walks in only 3 1/3 innings of work. He struck out three. Coming into this evening, Lilly had yet to allow more than four earned runs or go fewer than six innings in any of his seven starts. He's now allowed four runs in three consecutive outings, however, raising his ERA from 1.41 on May 7 to 3.14. That number should continue to rise. Lilly will bring a 1.13 WHIP and 31/19 K/BB ratio (compiled in 48 2/3 innings) into his Tuesday start against the Brewers.

Ted Lilly improved to 5-0 by holding the Rockies to five runs -- four earned -- over 6 1/3 innings Sunday.

Lilly has now won his five decisions for the first time in his career and is sporting a 2.11 ERA. The downswing figures to continue against the Cardinals next week. Lilly hasn't posted an ERA better than 3.52 in any of his last three seasons.

Ted Lilly held the Braves to just one run on three hits in seven innings of work on Wednesday, but got stuck with a no-decision thanks to Javy Guerra's second blown save of the season. Lilly struck out two and walked one, and threw just 79 pitches. He's now allowed only one run while going at least six innings in each of his first three starts. He'll bring a 0.90 ERA and 0.85 WHIP into his Monday outing in Colorado. Despite his hot start, it might still be best to keep Lilly benched at Coors Field.
