Sean Murphy Powers Braves to Easy Victory Over Giants
by Jesse Garcia | Braves Correspondent | Thu, Aug 15th 8:08am EDT
Sean Murphy went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Braves' 13-2 rout of the Giants.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance included a walk and he scored once. Despite a modest .226 batting average over 47 games this season, Murphy's power stroke was on display, contributing significantly to the team's offensive explosion. His seven home runs, although not eye-popping, suggest some underlying power potential that could be useful in fantasy formats that value extra-base hits and RBI. Given his current production rates and role in a potent Braves lineup, Murphy remains a viable option in deeper fantasy leagues, especially those that require a catcher. His ability to draw walks also helps in OBP leagues, though his high strikeout rate might be a concern for batting average-focused formats.
