Bailey Falter steadies ship, Pirates top Astros 6-2

Bailey Falter delivered a solid performance in the Pirates' 6-2 victory over the Astros on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed one earned run on six hits and struck out three over 5.1 innings, earning his sixth win of the season. This outing was a step in the right direction for Falter, whose season has been a mix of ups and downs. His ERA slightly improved to 3.95, and maintaining a WHIP of 1.19 with a 6.0 K/9 indicates a stable, if not spectacular, fantasy option. The lack of walks in this game is a positive takeaway, aligning with his decent 2.29 strikeout-to-walk ratio. While his 4.56 FIP suggests some underlying concerns, Falter's ability to limit damage and keep his team in games should keep him relevant in deeper fantasy leagues.
