Michael Kopech seals the deal in tight Dodgers victory

Michael Kopech delivered a flawless performance, striking out two and securing the save in the Dodgers' narrow 7-6 win over the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
His outing was a sharp display of efficiency, needing just 13 pitches to close out the inning without allowing a hit, walk, or run. This game marks a positive tick in Kopech's somewhat turbulent season, lowering his ERA to 3.98 and adding to his save tally. Despite his five blown saves this year, performances like this remind fantasy managers of his potential upside, especially in leagues that value strikeouts and saves. His high K/9 continues to make him a valuable asset for strikeouts, though his FIP suggests some underlying concerns. Owners should remain cautiously optimistic but aware of the volatility in his performances.
