Richard Lovelady seals the deal against Diamondbacks
by Chris Schommer | Mets Correspondent | Sun, Aug 18th 7:02am EDT
Richard Lovelady secured his first save of the season in the Rays' 6-1 victory over the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact:
He pitched 1 1/3 innings, allowing no hits, walks, or runs, though he didn't record any strikeouts. Despite a rocky season with a 5.89 ERA and 1.47 WHIP, this outing was a clean and efficient performance for Lovelady. His ability to prevent base runners in this appearance is a positive sign, but his low strikeout rate (6.9 K/9) continues to limit his upside in fantasy formats that value punchouts. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his season-long inconsistencies and high ERA suggest reliance on him could be risky unless he shows sustained improvement.
