Pablo Lopez stumbles in loss to Orioles

Pablo Lopez took the loss Friday, yielding two earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight over 5 2/3 innings against the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the solid strikeout numbers, Lopez's inability to pitch deep into the game and control the Orioles' lineup contributed to his 10th loss of the season. His season ERA slightly increased to 4.08, and his WHIP now stands at 1.19, reflecting a season that has been solid but occasionally marred by inefficiency. With a strong 9.6 K/9 and a 4.83 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Lopez remains a valuable fantasy asset, though his inconsistency in game length and run prevention can be frustrating. His performance today is a reminder of the volatility that can affect even seasoned starters.
