King Falters, Padres Fall to Mariners 5-2

Michael King endured a tough outing in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Mariners, allowing one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a relatively solid performance in terms of limiting runs, King's inability to go deeper into the game likely frustrated fantasy managers, especially those counting on him in critical matchups. With a season ERA of 3.06 and a WHIP of 1.21, King remains a strong fantasy option, but outings like this highlight some inconsistency in his ability to pitch late into games. His high strikeout rate (10.6 K/9) continues to be a silver lining, ensuring he remains relevant in all fantasy formats.
