ATLANTA -- R.A. Dickey has been the most effective member of a currently struggling rotation for the Atlanta Braves.
The Braves hope Dickey's effectiveness is enough to salvage the finale of a three-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday afternoon.
The fact that Dickey has been able to go 3-2 with a 3.94 ERA with his new team despite not having his signature pitch working consistently may be the most encouraging part of the 42-year-old's success.
"I'm five starts in and I can honestly say I have yet to have my good knuckleball," the 2012 National League Cy Young Award winner with the New York Mets said.
