Kyle Leahy strikes out nine in no-decision

Jo Adell homered in the third for the only run of Leahy. The right-hander allowed just two other hits, walked none and struck out four. He’s given up a total of two runs over 25 1/3 innings in his last five starts, one of which was halted by rain after three innings. There are obvious concerns about his workload going forward, as this is his first year back in the rotation after three seasons in the pen, but he’s cruising at the moment. He’ll face the Reds this weekend.

Leahy allowed one hit, walked none and struck out two before the nearly three-hour delay. He ends the first half 7-4 with a 3.86 ERA and a 73/33 K/BB over 86 1/3 innings. He spent the previous three years pitching in relief, so in order to keep his workload in check, the Cardinals might return him to the pen down the stretch. He figures to remain a starter for at least the next several weeks, though.

Leahy was excellent against the Cubs on Saturday, holding them scoreless over five innings. He scattered three hits and two walks, throwing 45-of-77 pitches for strikes and collecting six strikeouts. He’s now allowed just one run total over his last three starts. The 29-year-old right-hander will look to keep it going when he takes a 3.86 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, and a 73/33 K/BB ratio across 86 1/3 innings into a start against the Brewers in St. Louis on Thursday.

Leahy allowed a ground-rule double to Graham Pauley in his fifth and final frame, and that was it. The 29-year-old has been outstanding as of late, and he’s given up just one run over his last two outings while lowering his season ERA to 4.09. He struck out five in that solid effort, and he issued just one free pass. Leahy will look to keep the good run going in a scheduled start Saturday against the Cubs.

Leahy gave up three hits, walked two and struck out three. He was able to shut down the Diamondbacks offense on Tuesday, but it’s hard to believe in his skills with only three strikeouts and an 18 percent strikeout percentage this year. Leahy has a 4.24 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Marlins at home this weekend.

Leahy struck out seven and walked one, taking advantage of a strong matchup as the Padres entered the day with the worst run-scoring lineup in MLB. He has now made 14 starts after primarily pitching out of the bullpen in his big-league career before 2026. His next outing is scheduled to come at home against the Diamondbacks, where he’ll be a volume-based streamer in deeper formats.

Leahy gave up a solo homer to Byron Buxton with one out in the first inning, and would allow three more runs to score over his final two innings of work. Leahy attempted to make it through the Twins’ order a third time, but after alowing the first three runners he faced to reach base he was pulled in favor of George Soriano. It was business as usual for Leahy, who was again limited to five innings but did a good job of controlling the strike zone. His next start is scheduled for Wednesday at home against the Padres.

The three runs Leahy allowed in this one all came in the first inning, with a two-RBI double by Sal Stewart kicking things off with one out. Eugenio Suárez would later single to bring home Stewart to give the Reds the early 3-0 advantage, but the Cardinals wasted little time battling to re-take the lead before turning the game into a full-blown blowout by the sixth inning. Leahy continues to see short outings and has made it out of the sixth inning just once in his 12 starts. His next start is scheduled for Thursday at the Mets.

Leahy pitched four scoreless innings before giving up a leadoff double and a one-out single to tie the game at 1-1 in the fifth. That was all the Cardinals needed to see from him, as he was facing the top of the order for a third time and has not done well the third time around thus far. Leahy has averaged exactly five innings per start while going 5-3 with a 4.25 ERA to date. He’s lined up to face the Reds on Friday.

Leahy struck out a career-best eight, but the Reds got to him with a three-run homer from Elly De La Cruz and a two-run homer from Nathaniel Lowe, both in the fifth inning. Leahy’s ERA stands at 4.44, and he’s gotten a total of five outs after the fifth inning in his 10 starts this year. Maybe he’ll improve, but it’s also quite possible he’d be more valuable to the Cardinals as a reliever. He’s due to face the Cubs next.
