Jake Irvin Stumbles Against Giants
by Jesse Garcia | Nationals Correspondent | Wed, Aug 7th 10:27pm EDT
Jake Irvin struggled in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Giants, allowing five earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing marks a notable deviation from his solid season performance, where he maintained a commendable 3.76 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across 24 starts. The increase in hits and runs in this game could raise concerns about his consistency, especially considering his relatively low strikeout rate of 7.7 K/9. Fantasy managers should monitor Irvin's next few starts closely for signs of rebound or further regression, as his ability to control games appears slightly shaken. This performance might slightly skew his ERA and WHIP, but his season-long metrics still suggest he can be a valuable asset in fantasy rotations.
