Lackey (4-3) allowed three earned runs on seven hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in Tuesday's win over Cincinnati. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Coming off of his best performance of the season last week in which he struck out 10 batters, Lackey was less than sharp in this one. Regardless, the Chicago bats staked him to an early lead and he was able to get through the fifth inning for the victory despite not having his best stuff. He'll take the mound again on Sunday at home against Milwaukee.
