Dane Dunning Struggles, Rangers Edge Pirates
by Matthew Adam | Rangers Correspondent | Tue, Aug 20th 6:19am EDT
Dane Dunning allowed three earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four over four innings in Monday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the Rangers' victory, Dunning's performance was less than stellar, failing to go deep into the game and surrendering a few too many hits. His season ERA now sits at an unimpressive 5.00, with a WHIP of 1.40, which are concerning numbers for fantasy managers. His strikeout rate remains decent at 8.9 K/9, but his FIP of 5.08 suggests that his struggles are not solely due to bad luck. Fantasy managers should consider these metrics and his inconsistent performances this season when deciding on his role in their lineups.
