Stats of the Day: No Lack of dominance

Here are four interesting items from around the big leagues on Monday …

• In St. Louis, Cubs right-hander John Lackey worked seven scoreless innings and fanned 11 to improve to 3-0. Lackey last had a line that featured as many as 11 K’s and no runs allowed on Sept. 21, 2008. At 37 years and 178 days old, he is the oldest Cubs hurler since 1913 to have a line with these features, with the previous oldest being 31-year-old Pat Malone in 1934. Behind Lackey, the Cubs produced their second shutout of the year and limited the Cardinals’ offense to five hits and two walks. Through 13 games, Chicago owns a 2.24 ERA and a 0.917 WHIP. For its first 13 games, the team ERA is the lowest since the 1985 squad’s 2.11 mark, and the WHIP is the lowest for any Cubs staff going back to Chicago’s first season at Wrigley (1916).
