Frankie Montas Muddles Through, Brewers Top Nationals
by Chase Davis | Brewers Correspondent | Sat, Aug 3rd 9:59am EDT
Frankie Montas earned a win despite a shaky outing, allowing three earned runs on nine hits while striking out five across five innings in Friday's 8-3 victory over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, while not his sharpest, was enough to secure his fifth win of the season thanks to robust run support. Montas's season has been marred by inconsistency, as evidenced by his elevated 5.03 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 20 starts. His strikeout rate remains modest at 7.6 K/9, and his FIP of 4.87 suggests some underlying struggles beyond what traditional stats may show. Fantasy managers should continue to view Montas as a risky play, primarily relying on him in favorable matchups or when in need of innings.
