Dickey posted a 5-0 mark with a major league-best 0.93 earned run average in six June outings. He tossed three complete games, including two shutouts, and recorded 55 strikeouts against only eight walks.
The right-hander tossed consecutive one-hitters on June 13 at Tampa Bay and June 18 versus Baltimore. He also went 44 2/3 innings without allowing an earned run, a stretch that began in May.
