Fantasy Impact

With this outing, Kennedy lowered his season ERA to 3.00 and showcased his ability to limit baserunners with a 1.00 WHIP. While his strikeout numbers remain modest with a 4.5 K/9 rate, his 2.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio suggests he has good control on the mound. Kennedy's solid showing in this game should provide some confidence for fantasy managers moving forward.

Brett Kennedy allowed four runs in 1 2/3 innings against the Reds on Friday. He gave up one hit and four walks while striking out two. He raised his season ERA to 6.75.

Fantasy Impact

Kennedy had absolutely no command on the mound today. Anytime you walk four batters in the same inning you are looking for trouble. He did have his start delayed more than two hours due to rain. Kennedy did however escape this outing with a no-decision. Kennedy will have a full week to think about this one. His next start will be on Friday at home against the Rangers.
