Richard Fitts shines, Red Sox stumble

Richard Fitts delivered a strong performance in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Twins.
Fantasy Impact:
He threw 80 pitches over five innings, allowing no earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three. Despite his solid outing, Fitts still couldn't find his first win of the season, a recurring theme that highlights the Red Sox's struggles to capitalize on the days he pitches. Fitts maintains a pristine 0.00 ERA through his first three starts, complemented by a commendable 1.15 WHIP. However, his low strikeout rate of 4.0 K/9 might limit his appeal in fantasy formats that heavily reward strikeouts. His performance is encouraging, but fantasy managers should temper expectations due to the lack of run support and strikeout potential.
