Lyles (1-1) was masterful Monday against the Reds, allowing just an unearned run in seven innings. He allowed four hits, struck out four and walked one.
This start came out of nowhere, as the righty had been tormented for 10 runs in eight innings across his first two starts of the season. It may be worth noting that this was Lyles' first start away from Coors Field this year, but in 2015, he actually registered a worse ERA on the road than at home. Lyles will carry a 6.00 ERA into his next start, next Monday against the Pirates.
