Gavin Stone shines in dominant outing against Blue Jays

Gavin Stone delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out two over seven innings in Friday's 12-2 victory over the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

This outing was a refreshing display of efficiency from Stone, who has had a mixed start to the season with a 4.68 ERA and a 1.44 WHIP over his first five starts. His ability to limit the damage against a potent Blue Jays lineup should provide some reassurance to fantasy managers concerned about his relatively high WHIP and modest strikeout rate (6.5 K/9). While he may not be a strikeout artist, his solid outing helps stabilize his standing as a reliable option in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly in formats that reward innings pitched and quality starts.
