Lyles allowed one run on one hit with six strikeouts and three walks across six innings to earn a victory over the Cardinals on Saturday.
The 26-year-old continued his masterful start to the season, turning in perhaps his best outing of the year. While he did walk three batters -- one of which came around to score -- that's acceptable given that he yielded just one hit. In his last two outings, he's allowed two runs in 12.2 innings. Overall, Lyles is 3-1 with a 2.09 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 35 strikeouts in 38.2 innings. His next start is expected to come Thursday in San Diego.
