Pablo Lopez struggles in high-scoring affair
by Chris Schommer | Twins Correspondent | Sat, Jul 6th 7:20am EDT
Pablo Lopez endured a rough outing in Friday's 13-12 loss to the Astros, allowing six earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance marked a continuation of Lopez's challenging season, where he's now sporting a 5.18 ERA and seven losses. Despite a decent WHIP of 1.19 and a strong 10.5 K/9 rate, his ERA and win-loss record reflect the volatility and inconsistency he's experienced this year. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying too heavily on Lopez, as his high strikeout rate is overshadowed by his susceptibility to giving up runs, making him a risky play in all but the most strikeout-hungry formats.
