One of the more interesting tidbits about Lackey's start to the season is his 10.8% swinging strike rate, also a career high. His peripheral numbers aren't quite as strong as Jon Lester's, but his 4.73 strikeout-to-walk ratio is a career high. He has yet to allow more than two runs in any of his other six starts this year, and has gone seven innings or more in four of them. Regardless, Lackey has been lights out otherwise. They were a pair of odd outings, as he allowed four home runs and no walks to the Yankees, and four walks and no home runs to the Orioles. John Lackey went through a rough patch in mid-April, allowing six runs on ten hits in consecutive outings against the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles.
