Ortiz Dominates Reds in Stellar Six-Inning Outing
by Jesse Garcia | Pirates Correspondent | Thu, Jun 27th 7:35am EDT
Luis L. Ortiz turned in a strong performance against the Cincinnati Reds, allowing just one earned run and striking out seven over six innings in a 6-1 victory for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
Ortiz's command was on full display, as he did not issue a walk and scattered only four hits throughout his outing. This performance should reassure fantasy managers after a season of fairly solid stats, including a 3.23 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. His ability to maintain a low ERA and WHIP, combined with a decent strikeout rate, makes him a viable option in most fantasy formats. However, his modest strikeout-to-walk ratio and K/9 may limit his ceiling. Fantasy managers should continue to view Ortiz as a reliable, if not spectacular, contributor to their pitching staffs.
