George Kirby struggles, Mariners still triumph

George Kirby had a less-than-stellar outing in Friday's 9-5 victory over the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed five earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two over 5 2/3 innings. Despite the rough start, Kirby benefitted from strong run support, securing his 10th win of the season. This performance could raise concerns about his consistency, especially given the spike in earned runs against a relatively modest number of hits. However, his season-long metrics, including a 3.63 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP, suggest that he remains a reliable option in most fantasy formats. Fantasy managers should monitor his next few starts closely but shouldn't panic based on one shaky outing.
