Lyles confident in making delayed start Sunday

CINCINNATI -- Rockies right-hander Jordan Lyles, who suffered an injury to his left big toe during his last start, said he is set for his next start Sunday at Philadelphia -- two days later than originally scheduled.

Lyles (2-5, 5.10 ERA) needed the extra time after yet another freakish injury during his last start, a loss to the Giants. Lyles dominated the first three innings, suffered the injury after a Hunter Pence single in the fourth and aggravated it after Matt Duffy's RBI single two batters later. He faced three batters in the fifth and left having been charged with six runs, five earned.
