His last three starts were 6.1 innings and 2 earned runs, 7.0 innings and 0 earned runs, and 5.1 innings and 3 earned runs.

His last three starts were 6.2 innings and 0 earned runs, 3.0 innings and 6 earned runs, and 0.2 innings and 0 earned runs.

The Cardinals are 3-7 over their last 10 games, so current form has been weaker than their season baseline. New York carries a .722 OPS and 521 runs scored with a 3.34 team ERA and 1.19 team WHIP.
