Stripling Shines in Shutout Against Pirates
by Jesse Garcia | Athletics Correspondent | Wed, May 1st 10:49pm EDT
Ross Stripling delivered a masterful performance on Wednesday, tossing six scoreless innings and allowing just three hits with no walks while striking out two in a 4-0 victory over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a significant improvement for Stripling, who entered the game with a bloated 4.98 ERA and five losses. His ability to avoid walks and limit hits in this game could be a sign of adjustments paying off, though his low strikeout total continues to cap his fantasy upside. Given his high 1.34 WHIP and modest 6.02 K/9 rate this season, fantasy managers should remain cautious. However, this start might warrant a speculative add in deeper leagues or at least a closer watch in his next few outings to see if this performance is the beginning of a trend or just a one-off.
