DJ Herz Strikes Out 10 in Tough-Luck Loss
by Emily Maingi | Nationals Correspondent | Wed, Jul 3rd 11:40am EDT
DJ Herz delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on five hits over 5.2 innings while striking out 10 in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Mets.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the high strikeout total and solid control, Herz's effort wasn't enough to secure a win, as the Nationals' offense failed to provide sufficient support. This outing lowers his ERA slightly but remains higher than desirable at 4.67, reflecting some inconsistency in his starts this season. His impressive 12.3 K/9 continues to be a silver lining for fantasy managers, suggesting potential for high-reward outings, though his win potential is hampered by the team's overall performance and his elevated WHIP of 1.37. Herz remains a high-risk, high-reward option in fantasy leagues, particularly appealing for those in need of strikeouts.
