Rhett Lowder Shines in Scoreless Outing
by Chase Davis | Reds Correspondent | Fri, Sep 6th 8:37am EDT
Rhett Lowder delivered a strong performance, tossing 6.1 scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and four walks while striking out three in the Reds' 1-0 victory over the Astros on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the walks, Lowder effectively managed to keep the Astros off the scoreboard, showcasing his ability to work out of jams. This outing lowered his ERA to an impressive 0.87 through his first two starts of the season, although his WHIP stands at 1.35, indicating some control issues. His strikeout rate remains modest at 7.8 K/9, and his strikeout-to-walk ratio is a concern at 1.13. Fantasy managers should be cautious but optimistic; while Lowder's low ERA is encouraging, his peripheral stats suggest potential regression unless he can improve his command and control.
