Evan Phillips Shuts the Door on Orioles
by Chase Davis | Dodgers Correspondent | Fri, Aug 30th 8:35am EDT
Evan Phillips delivered a flawless performance, striking out two in a clean inning to secure the save in the Dodgers' 6-3 victory over the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a textbook display of Phillips's ability to dominate late in games, as he efficiently used just 15 pitches to dispatch the opposition. With this performance, Phillips notched his 17th save of the season, reinforcing his role as a reliable closer for the Dodgers. His season-long metrics, including a solid 3.30 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP, coupled with a high strikeout rate of 11.3 K/9, make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories that reward saves and strikeouts. Phillips's consistent strikeout ability and control, evidenced by his 4.58 strikeout-to-walk ratio, should keep him relevant even with the presence of Michael Kopech.
