Bradley Blalock tames Yankees in Rockies' big win
by Chris Schommer | Rockies Correspondent | Sun, Aug 25th 6:01am EDT
Bradley Blalock earned his first win of the season, allowing two earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out five over 5 1/3 innings in Saturday's 9-2 victory over the Yankees.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a somewhat shaky WHIP of 1.42 and a modest strikeout rate of 5.6 K/9 this season, Blalock's performance against a strong Yankees lineup should reassure fantasy managers. His ERA now improves to 3.06, and while his strikeout-to-walk ratio remains a concern at 1.38, his ability to limit damage and secure wins in favorable matchups makes him a potential streaming option in deeper leagues or formats that heavily reward wins. Keep an eye on his control in future outings, as any improvement there could significantly boost his fantasy value.
