Eric Lauer stringing together steady outings for Dodgers

Starter has yielded three runs or fewer in eight outings.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Jul 231 min read

What happened: The Los Angeles Dodgers hold a perfect 8-0 record in games started by Eric Lauer since acquiring him from the Toronto Blue Jays. The left-hander's consistent run prevention has anchored the staff following the midseason transaction.

Why it matters: The turnaround provides vital stability as the Los Angeles Dodgers assess their rotation ahead of the August 3 trade deadline. The unexpected surge lessens the immediate pressure to secure additional starting pitching.

By the numbers: Toronto managed a 2-6 record in Lauer's eight starts before the deal, as he exited the organization with a 6.69 ERA.

What to watch: The front office continues to weigh external pitching options leading up to the deadline.
