Joe Musgrove's Mastery: Padres Edge Pirates 2-1
by Matthew Adam | Padres Correspondent | Tue, Aug 13th 6:28am EDT
Joe Musgrove delivered a solid performance, tossing 63 pitches over 4.1 innings, allowing just two hits and one walk while striking out one in Monday's narrow 2-1 victory over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not factoring into the decision, Musgrove's outing was a bright spot in a season marred by a bloated 5.20 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP. His effort in this game showed some control and efficiency, qualities that have been inconsistent throughout the year. Given his season-long struggles, including a less-than-stellar 7.5 K/9 and a high 5.34 FIP, fantasy managers should remain cautious. While this performance could hint at a turning point, his overall metrics suggest it's too early for any significant optimism in fantasy circles.
