Blake Walston delivered a shaky performance in Tuesday's 8-5 victory over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed two earned runs on two hits and four walks while striking out two over 4.1 innings. Despite the Diamondbacks securing the win, Walston's outing was marred by control issues, as evidenced by his four walks and early exit after just 88 pitches. His season ERA slightly rose to 2.84, and his WHIP now stands at 1.42, reflecting ongoing struggles with allowing baserunners. Fantasy managers should be cautious; while his ERA remains respectable, his high WHIP and low strikeout-to-walk ratio suggest potential volatility in his performances moving forward.
