DJ Herz stumbles, Nats still triumph over Rockies
by Chris Schommer | Nationals Correspondent | Sat, Jun 22nd 6:14am EDT
DJ Herz allowed three earned runs on seven hits while striking out five over 3 2/3 innings in Friday's 11-5 win against the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the Nationals' offense securing the victory, Herz's performance was less than stellar, struggling to contain the Rockies' hitters and exiting early after burning through 76 pitches. This outing nudged his ERA up to 4.50 and his WHIP to 1.33, which are concerning metrics for fantasy managers relying on him for better ratios. His high strikeout rate (13.0 K/9) remains a silver lining, but the elevated BABIP (.341) suggests he might be experiencing some bad luck or issues with pitch location. Fantasy managers should monitor his next starts closely, as consistency will be key to determining his viability in fantasy lineups.
