Niese tossed five innings against the Marlins on Wednesday, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six. He didn't factor in the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Niese fell short of a fifth straight quality start, but he's allowed two runs or less in his last four outings, so there's no question he's ben very good of late. The lefty lowered his ERA for the fifth game in a row and now it sits at 4.36, and will try to continue his streak in his next start against the Mets on Monday.
