Kyle Gibson shines in tight victory over Yankees
by Chris Schommer | Sun, Sep 1st 7:23am EDT
Kyle Gibson delivered a strong performance on Saturday, allowing just one earned run on five hits and zero walks while striking out six over seven innings in the Cardinals' 6-5 win against the Yankees.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a breath of fresh air for fantasy managers, especially considering Gibson's somewhat inflated 4.39 ERA and 1.35 WHIP for the season. His ability to suppress walks in this game and maintain a solid strikeout rate aligns with his season K/9 of 8.2, suggesting potential for continued success if he can keep his command tight. Given his performance, Gibson remains a viable fantasy option, particularly in deeper leagues or as a streaming choice in matchups where he can exploit weaker lineups.
