Austin Gomber Shines in Rockies' Tight Victory
by Chase Davis | Rockies Correspondent | Fri, Sep 6th 8:08am EDT
Austin Gomber delivered a stellar performance, allowing just one earned run on five hits and zero walks while striking out six over eight innings in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Braves.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a breath of fresh air for Gomber and his fantasy managers, especially considering his struggles throughout the season with a 4.50 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. His ability to control the game, evidenced by not issuing a single walk and maintaining a low hit count, could signal a turning point or at least a high point in what has been a turbulent season. While his season-long metrics like a 6.4 K/9 and a 4.80 FIP suggest limited strikeout upside and some underlying concerns, performances like this one highlight his potential value in deeper leagues or as a streaming option when the matchup is right.
