Luis L. Ortiz shines in shutout against Guardians
by Chris Schommer | Pirates Correspondent | Sun, Sep 1st 9:28am EDT
Luis L. Ortiz delivered a stellar performance, allowing just one hit over six scoreless innings while striking out five in the Pirates' 3-0 victory over the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a breath of fresh air for Ortiz, who has been battling inconsistencies, evidenced by a less-than-stellar 4.22 FIP and a modest strikeout rate coming into the game. His ability to limit hits and keep runs off the board in this appearance helped lower his ERA to 3.19 and WHIP to 1.10, which are encouraging signs for fantasy managers. Given his overall season performance and recent showing, Ortiz could be a viable fantasy option, especially in deeper leagues or as a streaming choice, but his fluctuating command with three walks in this game still poses some risk.
