Tyler Holton Delivers Clean Frame in Tough Loss
by Chase Davis | Tigers Correspondent | Fri, Aug 23rd 8:27am EDT
Tyler Holton threw a perfect inning as the opener in the Tigers' 10-2 defeat to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's struggles, Holton maintained his composure, allowing no hits, walks, or runs, though he didn't add any strikeouts to his tally. This outing underscores his reliability in a turbulent season for Detroit, reflected in his impressive 2.45 ERA and 0.80 WHIP. His low strikeout rate of 7.0 K/9 continues to be a concern for fantasy managers looking for more punchouts from their relief pitchers. However, his excellent control and ability to limit base runners make him a valuable asset in formats that reward holds and low ratios. Holton's consistent performance, evidenced by his 4 saves and 9 holds, should keep him relevant in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly those that value middle relievers.
