Eric Lauer

MIAMI (AP) — Jesús Aguilar, Jorge Soler and Brian Anderson homered, and the Miami Marlins beat the Milwaukee Brewers 9-3. Miami starter Trevor Rogers pitched 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball. Rogers allowed five hits, struck out eight and hit a batter. A day after leaving early because...

MIAMI - Eric Lauer has not looked fallible much during the 2022 season. Saturday night against the Miami Marlins, it was more of the same — save for one inning.  One fateful inning. ...

Lauer (3-1) gave up four earned runs on six hits and zero walks while striking out seven in five innings Saturday in Miami. He took the loss. It's encouraging that in what might be his worst start of the season through six starts, Lauer still struck out enough batters to contribute something for fantasy. He has struck out 39 batters in 24.1 innings over his last four starts. This marked the first time all season he gave up more than one home run, as Jesus Aguilar, Jorge Soler and Brian Anderson all took him deep. Lauer lines up to face the Nationals at home next weekend.

It’s clear, by now, that Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Eric Lauer is a man on a mission. And perhaps the breakout star of the season so far. His 1.82 ERA in 29.2 innings ranks among the best in the league, and it comes with lots of strikeouts – 42 to be precise – and a very encouraging statistical profile that suggests this version of Lauer has some staying power.

Left-hander Eric Lauer allowed only two hits over 6 1/3 innings to lead the visiting Milwaukee Brewers to a 6-3 win over the Atlanta Braves on Friday. It was the fourth straight win for Milwaukee, which has won nine of its past 10 games. Atlanta took its fifth loss in seven games.

Strong effort from Eric Lauer helps Brewers beat Atlanta 6-3 ATLANTA (AP) — Eric Lauer allowed one earned run, Christian Yelich’s infield single was the big hit in Milwaukee’s four-run sixth inning, and the streaking Brewers beat the Atlanta Braves 6-3. The NL Central-leading Brewers have won four straight and nine of 10. Lauer gave up two runs, one earned, on two hits and three walks in 6 1/3 innings. He had eight strikeouts. Atlanta’s Ronald Acuña Jr. opened the fourth with a 450-foot homer to center field — his first since returning from knee surgery.

ATLANTA – For the first time since becoming a thing earlier in the week, the Ballplayer Bell didn't toll. This time, small ball and more rock-solid pitching were the storyline for the Milwaukee Brewers, who opened a big three-city, nine-game road trip with a 6-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Friday at Truist Park. ...

Lauer (3-0) picked up the win Friday, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and three walks over 6.1 innings in a 6-3 victory over Atlanta. He struck out eight. The southpaw tossed 94 pitches (59 strikes) as he reeled off his fourth straight quality start. The three free passes were a season high for Lauer and he did serve up another homer, his fourth in 29.2 innings on the year, but it's hard to argue with the career-high 36.2 percent strikeout rate he's compiled so far. Lauer will take a 1.82 ERA and 0.94 WHIP into his next outing.

Happy Monday, everyone! It was another wild and exciting weekend of baseball. The Colorado Rockies continue to roll at home as one of the MLB's most surprising teams to start -- they've won three in a row in an absolutely loaded NL West. At this stage it's fair to say the NL West is baseball's best, at least top to bottom, and it could stay that way. We also saw the red-hot New York Yankees extend their MLB-leading win streak to nine. But let's talk some Fantasy Baseball now.
