Yu Darvish clinches win despite mixed outing
by Chris Schommer | Padres Correspondent | Sat, Sep 28th 8:47am EDT
Yu Darvish earned a win Friday, allowing three earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four over 5 1/3 innings as the Padres topped the Diamondbacks 5-3.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance was a bit of a balancing act for Darvish, who managed to limit hits but struggled somewhat with control, as evidenced by his three walks. Despite this, his ability to secure a win helped his season record improve to 7-3. Darvish's season ERA slightly increased to 3.31, and his WHIP to 1.07, but these remain respectable numbers that should keep him in good standing in fantasy leagues. His K/9 rate continues to be solid, though not spectacular, and his FIP suggests some underlying concerns that savvy fantasy managers will want to monitor. Overall, Darvish remains a viable starting option, especially in matchups where he can exploit weaker lineups.
