David Festa Survives Shaky Start, Twins Win Big
by Chase Davis | Twins Correspondent | Fri, Jun 28th 8:47am EDT
David Festa earned a win despite allowing five earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings in Thursday's 13-6 victory over the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the Twins' offense bailing him out with a hefty run support, Festa's performance was less than stellar, marking his season debut with a bloated ERA and WHIP. His low strikeout total in this one is not what we expect from someone with a 13.1 K/9 in the minors this season. However, it is his first major league start. Relying on him for fantasy purposes could be a risky move unless he shows significant improvement in his command and ability to miss bats. Fantasy managers should tread carefully with Festa on their rosters, as his first start did not inspire confidence for consistent fantasy production.
