Lackey (5-8) allowed two runs, one of which was earned, on three hits and two walks while striking out four across six innings to take the loss Friday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Lackey gave up a solo shot to Giancarlo Stanton, but otherwise he received no offensive support, leading the veteran to his eighth loss of the campaign. Although he's been a player to avoid in fantasy lineups for most of the season, he's now posted back-to-back quality starts to lower his ERA over half a point to 4.74. He'll make his next start Wednesday against the Nationals.
