Happ (6-6) allowed one earned run on one hit and two walks while striking out five across six innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Happ allowed only one hit, a solo home run by Hoy Park to lead off the fourth frame. Otherwise, Happ worked through the Pirates' lineup very efficiently, requiring only 86 pitches to record 18 outs. In two starts since joining the Cardinals, Happ has now allowed only three earned runs across 11 innings with nine strikeouts and three walks. That limited success stands in stark contrast to his 6.34 ERA and 86:34 K:BB across 109.1 innings on the campaign.
