Hayden Birdsong Battles Through Five for a Win
by Matthew Adam | Giants Correspondent | Tue, Sep 24th 5:59am EDT
Hayden Birdsong earned the win Monday, allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings as the Giants topped the Diamondbacks 6-3.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, while not dominant, was effective enough to secure his sixth win of the season. Despite a rocky 4.66 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP coming into the game, Birdsong's ability to maintain a solid 10.2 K/9 ratio continues to make him a valuable asset in strikeout-heavy fantasy formats. However, his high FIP of 4.85 suggests that some caution is warranted, as he may be prone to rough outings. Fantasy managers should consider him a risky, yet potentially rewarding, option depending on the matchup.
