Cubs' John Lackey: Receives no decision Thursday

Lackey (7-4) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over 6.1 innings, but received no decision Thursday at the Mets.

Analysis:

Lackey had a 3-0 lead entering the bottom of the sixth inning, but he gave up runs in the sixth and seventh innings, and the bullpen was unable to hold onto the one-run lead after he left the contest. He's now held opponents to three or fewer runs in 11 of his last 12 starts, and he has a 3.27 ERA on the year. He'll make his next start Tuesday against the Reds.
