Bailey Falter falters as Pirates edge Reds 6-5

Bailey Falter struggled in Friday's matchup against the Pirates, allowing five earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not factoring into the decision, Falter's performance did little to inspire confidence, particularly given his season-long issues with maintaining a lower ERA, now sitting at 4.25. His 6.3 K/9 ratio continues to underscore a lack of dominance on the mound, which limits his appeal in fantasy formats that heavily reward strikeouts. Moving forward, Falter remains a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a streaming option against less formidable lineups.
