Luis L. Ortiz's Solid Outing Helps Pirates Edge Cardinals
by Chase Davis | Pirates Correspondent | Fri, Sep 20th 8:30am EDT
Luis L. Ortiz delivered a quality start, striking out seven over six innings while allowing two earned runs in the Pirates' narrow 3-2 victory over the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance was a typical display of control and efficiency, navigating through five hits and a couple of walks. This outing lowers his ERA slightly, maintaining his solid WHIP of 1.14, which is encouraging for fantasy managers relying on him for steady starts. Despite a modest K/9 rate, Ortiz's ability to limit walks and manage games effectively should keep him as a viable option in fantasy rotations, especially in deeper leagues where innings and strikeouts are valuable. His season-long metrics, including a slightly elevated FIP, suggest some caution, but his consistency in this game is a positive sign.
