Lauer took a no-decision after throwing six innings, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out six, during Friday's 4-3 win over the Angels.

Whether in bulk relief or as a starter, Lauer has had a strong campaign, and he continued that Friday with his longest start of the season. The 30-year-old seems fully stretched out to be able to handle a starter's workload now, which is a welcome boost to the Blue Jays' rotation. The left-hander has not allowed more than three runs in an appearance all season, and he holds a 3-0 record with a 2.59 ERA and 33 strikeouts 31.1 innings pitched since June 1. Lauer will get a chance to build upon this outing when he makes his next start, scheduled to be on the road at the White Sox.
