Lakins pitched a perfect seventh inning with one strikeout to earn a hold in Monday's 4-1 win over Boston.
Prior to the now-completed Boston series, Lakins had allowed five runs across his previous two appearances. He got back on track at home with a pair of scoreless innings in Baltimore's last four games. Lakins has a 4.22 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 6:8 K:BB in 10.2 innings. Despite the recent improvement, the 26-year-old has been far too inconsistent to see high-leverage assignments often.
