John Lackey picks up 130th career win
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(8:55 pm ET) Red Sox starter John Lackey earned his 130th career victory on Sunday in Minnesota. Lackey left after six innings and 84 pitches as the game went into a rain delay, but the Red Sox held on for his win.

Lackey improved to 2-4 on the year with a 3.31 ERA as he allowed just one unearned run on one hit and no walks over six innings. He struck out five and 50 of his 84 pitches went for strikes. The only run Lackey allowed came in the fifth inning on Chris Parmelee's fielder's choice ground ball that scored on a throwing error.

The 34-year-old Lackey snapped a three-start losing streak as he was searching for that elusive 130th career win. Still, he's not been pitching poorly as evidenced by his ERA and he was excellent on Sunday.

Lackey makes his next scheduled start Friday against Cleveland.

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(8:52 pm ET) Nationals starting pitcher Dan Haren dropped his second straight decision Sunday afternoon against the Padres.

He was charged with seven runs and nine hits over five innings of work. He struck out five and walked two as his ERA rose to 5.54 in a 13-4 defeat.

Haren is scheduled to make his next start Saturday at home against the Phillies. He is 3-1 with a 4.91 ERA in four starts at home.
Andrew Cashner Ks six in winning effort
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(8:46 pm ET) Padres pitcher Andrew Cashner struck out six and turned in an effective outing as he picked up his third win of the season Sunday afternoon against the Nationals.

Cashner has allowed just five runs over his last three starts (21 1/3 innings). He is scheduled to make his next start Saturday at Arizona. He went 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA in four appearances (two starts) against the Diamondbacks last season.

Nicasio, who made his ninth start of the season, allowed just three hits as he struck out five and walked one over six scoreless innings of work. His ERA improved to 4.47 after picking up his fourth win of the season.

Nicasio (4-1) has allowed two runs and five hits over his last 11 innings of work at home. He'll face the Giants again Saturday night at AT&T Park. Nicasio is 2-1 with a 5.19 in five starts away from home.

Zito has allowed 13 runs -- 10 earned -- over his last 11 1/3 innings of work. He is scheduled to make his next start at home against the Rockies. Zito is 3-0 with a stellar 0.55 ERA in five starts at AT&T Park.

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
