Mitch Spence shows grit in Athletics' narrow victory
by Chris Schommer | Athletics Correspondent | Sat, Sep 7th 6:02am EDT
Mitch Spence allowed one earned run over 4 1/3 innings while striking out six against the Tigers on Friday.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite giving up eight hits, Spence managed to limit the damage to just a single run, helping the Athletics to a 7-6 win. This performance could be seen as a mixed bag; while the high number of hits is a concern, his ability to avoid walks and maintain a decent strikeout rate is encouraging. His season-long metrics, including a 4.42 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP, suggest inconsistency, but performances like this show his potential value in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly if he can continue to minimize walks and maintain a reasonable strikeout rate.
