David Festa steady in Twins’ victory

David Festa delivered a solid performance in the Twins' 4-2 win over the Red Sox on Friday.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed one earned run on four hits and three walks while striking out six over five innings. This outing was a step in the right direction for Festa, who has struggled with consistency this season, evidenced by a 4.80 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over 12 starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (10.8 K/9) remains a bright spot, and his FIP at 4.01 suggests some bad luck may be involved, given his .305 BABIP. Fantasy managers should note his potential for strikeouts and moderate improvement in control, but the high ERA and WHIP still make him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
