Dickey (9-9) allowed seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and three walks with three strikeouts and lasted just 4.1 innings as he took the loss Monday to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Although one would think an aging knuckleballer like Dickey would be prone to these kinds of blowouts, this is actually the first time he has allowed more than six runs in an outing since June 13. Dickey owned a 2.58 ERA with 74 strikeouts over 83.2 innings in that stretch, reminiscent of some of his best days with the Mets. His overall season ERA sits at 4.14, but Dickey has shown he has some left in the tank in the second half this year.
