Michael Lorenzen Shines in Scoreless Outing Against Royals
by Jesse Garcia | Royals Correspondent | Thu, Aug 22nd 7:12am EDT
Michael Lorenzen delivered a masterful performance, tossing seven scoreless innings while allowing just four hits and striking out five in the Angels' 3-0 loss to the Royals.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the strong outing, Lorenzen's season stats, including a 3.47 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP, suggest that while he can be a reliable option, his low strikeout rate (6.6 K/9) and high FIP (5.09) indicate potential volatility. Fantasy managers should view him as a matchup-dependent starter rather than a consistent weekly play, especially in leagues that heavily reward strikeouts. His performance in this game, however, could be a sign of turning the corner, but it's wise to temper expectations given the underlying metrics.
