Hammered early in loss
Elder (8-7) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and three walks with four strikeouts over five innings.
Analysis
Elder allowed seven runs over his first three frames, with the majority of the damage coming on a first-inning grand slam. It ends a hot stretch for the 27-year-old, who entered Monday having posted three quality starts while yielding just five earned runs through his first four second-half outings. He owns a 4.03 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 108:45 K across 131.2 innings this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Brilliant in eighth win
Elder (8-6) notched the win Wednesday against Miami, allowing one run on one hit and two walks in seven innings. He struck out three.
Analysis
Elder was magnificent Wednesday, keeping the Marlins out of the hit column until Jakob Marsee doubled during the fifth inning and then for the remainder of his outing. The right-hander has looked far better on the mound overall since Atlanta skipped his turn in the rotation prior to the All-Star break, delivering a 2.57 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over his past five outings (28 frames). Elder is set to take a 3.69 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 104:42 K:BB across 126.2 innings into a favorable home matchup against the last-place Mets.
