Hader Holds the Line, Astros Edge Pirates 5-4
by Jesse Garcia | Astros Correspondent | Thu, Aug 1st 8:10am EDT
Josh Hader secured his 21st save of the season in a tight 5-4 victory over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed one hit and struck out one batter in a scoreless inning of work. Despite a rocky 4.02 ERA this season, Hader's performance in this game reflects his ability to shut down critical innings when it counts. His impressive 14.0 K/9 and 4.87 strikeout-to-walk ratio continue to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially in categories like saves and strikeouts. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious due to his higher-than-desirable ERA, which suggests potential volatility in his performances.
