Jordan Hicks Dodges Trouble in Scoreless Outing
by Matthew Adam | Giants Correspondent | Tue, Jun 18th 6:35am EDT
Jordan Hicks navigated through five innings, allowing no runs on four hits and four walks while striking out four in Monday's tight 7-6 victory over the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a high pitch count and traffic on the bases, Hicks managed to keep the Cubs scoreless through his appearance. This performance should help stabilize his ERA, which remains solid at 2.82, but the high number of walks and pitches in just five innings could be a concern for fantasy managers relying on efficiency and longevity from their pitchers. His WHIP this season stands at 1.23, and while he maintains a decent strikeout rate, his control issues evidenced by a 2.43 strikeout-to-walk ratio and today's four walks might raise some eyebrows.
