Blue Jays' R.A. Dickey: Grounds Angels for ninth win of season
Dickey (9-13) pitched 6.2 innings, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two Angels in Tuesday's win.
Analysis:
The knuckleballer's strong performance Tuesday helped lower his ERA to 4.43, its lowest mark in more than a month. After a disastrous final three starts in July (17 runs in 14.2 innings), Dickey has thrown the ball well in August. Through four starts this month, the 41-year-old has picked up two wins and owns a 3.13 ERA with 16 strikeouts over 23 innings. Dickey will make his next start Sunday at home against the Twins.
