Michael Kopech seals the deal in tight victory

Michael Kopech locked down his seventh save of the season as the White Sox edged out the Rockies 5-3.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed no hits and one walk in a scoreless inning of work. Despite not recording any strikeouts, Kopech's ability to keep runs off the board in a crucial situation was key. His season has been a mixed bag with a 4.46 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP, which are not particularly impressive, but his high strikeout rate (12.6 K/9) continues to make him a valuable asset in categories that reward strikeouts. However, his high FIP (5.30) and inconsistency in save situations (7 saves, 4 blown saves) suggest that fantasy managers should remain cautious. Kopech's role as a closer appears secure for now, but his performance could be a rollercoaster, so adjust your expectations accordingly.
