The outing continued an excellent run for the right-hander, who has now limited opponents to two or fewer runs in six of his last seven starts. Lambert owns a 3.26 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 74:32 K:BB across 80 innings this season. He's lined up to make his final start before the All-Star break on the road against the Rangers.

Tagged for three homers in loss Lambert (6-5) completed 5.2 innings in a loss to Minnesota on Monday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four batters.

Impact The Twins made the most of their hits against Lambert, clubbing three homers to account for all four of their runs against him. The three long balls were the most the veteran righty has given up in an outing this season, though he's now served up at least one home run in each of his past five starts. Lambert had been pitching well in June coming into Monday, post a 2-0 record with a 2.31 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over four starts spanning 23.1 innings. He still has a pretty good 3.51 ERA on the campaign, and he'll try to get back on track his next time out, which is lined up to be a road matchup against the Nationals.

Early exit in no-decision Lambert didn't factor into the decision in Tuesday's 9-7 extra-innings win over the Blue Jays, giving up two runs on six hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out six.

Impact Toronto ran up Lambert's pitch count early, and the right-hander was lifted after 92 pitches (52 strikes) with Houston ahead 4-2, although the lead changed hands a couple times after he left the mound. It was Lambert's shortest outing since April 30, but he still allowed three runs or fewer for a sixth straight start, a stretch in which he's gone 4-0 while posting a 2.97 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 29:14 K:BB over 33.1 innings. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next start, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Twins.

Goes seven strong in win Lambert (6-4) earned the win against the Tigers on Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits and no walks with five strikeouts over seven innings.

Impact Lambert cruised through six frames before allowing a solo homer in the seventh, throwing 60 of 89 pitches for strikes while limiting the Tigers to just four hard-hit balls. The 29-year-old has now recorded back-to-back quality starts and has yielded only four earned runs across three outings in June. He'll take a 3.23 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 58:25 K:BB over 64 innings this season into a road matchup against the Blue Jays next week.

Set to start Wednesday Lambert (hand) is listed as Houston's probable starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against Detroit, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

Impact The right-hander departed his previous start after getting hit in the hand by a comebacker, but it appears the injury won't cost him a turn through the rotation. Lambert has a 3-0 record with a 3.32 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB in 21.2 innings across his past four starts.

Exits start with hand injury Lambert was removed from his start against the Angels on Wednesday after getting hit on the hand by a comebacker, source reports.

Impact Nick Madrigal hit a groundball in the seventh inning that bounced up and struck Lambert's right hand, leading to the latter's removal. The 29-year-old righty said after the game that he feels fine, per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, but the Astros will likely monitor his health leading up to his next start, which is lined up to come next week against Detroit.

Earns win Friday Lambert (5-4) earned the win Friday over the Athletics after tossing 5.1 innings of one-run ball. He allowed five hits and four walks while fanning four.

Impact Lambert might have issued four walks while tossing just 57 of his 94 pitches for strikes, but he stopped a three-game run in which he'd thrown either a wild pitch or hit a batter. The final line was solid for Lambert, as he ended just two outs shy of a quality start while allowing one earned run or fewer just for the third time this season, but the command issues are still a thing. Over his last six starts since the beginning of May, Lambert has a 28:18 K:BB across 35.1 innings while sporting a 3.57 ERA and 1.27 WHIP. His next start should come next week on the road against the Angels.

Five quality innings in fourth win Lambert (4-4) earned the win Saturday against the Brewers, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out three.

Impact Lambert hung on for a solid outing Saturday, escaping a bases-loaded jam on a William Contreras groundout to finish his fifth and final inning of work. The 29-year-old right-hander has been something of a revelation during his first year with the Astros so far, tossing at least five frames in seven of his eight starts while giving up two runs or fewer in half of his outings. Lambert will carry a career-best 3.77 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 43:21 K:BB across 45.1 innings into his next scheduled start at home against the division-rival Athletics.
