Lackey (2-3) allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out four batters over six innings during Saturday's win over Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Lackey never held the lead while he was on the mound, but the Cubbies scored three runs in the top of the seventh to put Chicago ahead for good and hand the veteran his second win of the season. He's battled in every outing and sports an impressive 9.0 K/9 and 25.0 strikeout percentage but the 5.10 ERA is a real eyesore. It's definitely encouraging that Lackey has gone exactly six innings in all five starts, though. He'll look to make it two wins in a row against the Phillies next week.
