He gave up six hits and one walk while striking out three.","spin":"With an 0.96 ERA over his last seven starts, Leake is officially red-hot. The 25-year-old right-hander has come out on the winning end in five of his six decisions since May 8, with a 34:7 K:BB over that stretch. He's actually been better on the road than he's been at home this season, and Leake will look to continue that trend Saturday against the Diamondbacks.","date":"Mon Jun 17"},"fullName":"Mike Leake","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Leake's 2013 plight depends less on his right arm and more on the left one of Argolis Chapman. If Chapman's conversion to the rotation is successful, Leake will either assume the swingman/long relief role or head back to the farm to start every fifth day until he is called upon to fill in at the big-league level. Truth be told, Leake would be best served in a different locale since the cozy Great American Ballpark has certainly contributed to him having the fourth-worst HR/9 (1.26) of any pitcher throwing at least 450 innings over the last three seasons. Even if Leake finds his way into the rotation, he's too incendiary to trust.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":7.9,"playerRater15DAY":4.7,"positionRank":28}
