All four of De Jong's earned runs came via the home run, and the Pirates' offense could not muster enough to overcome the deficit. De Jong has a 5.77 ERA this season, to go along with a 1.56 WHIP and 39 strikeouts in 43.2 innings. He lines up to face the Giants this weekend.

Chase De Jong did not factor into the decision in Sunday's win over the Mets. He allowed five runs on four hits and three walks across five innings. He struck out three.

This was a very mediocre start for De Jong, who was burned by home runs by Francisco Lindor and Michael Conforto. De Jong finishes the first half with a 5.59 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, and a 33:17 K:BB across 38.2 innings pitched.

Chase De Jong (1-3) picked up his first win of the season Monday against Atlanta, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four.

De Jong benefitted from a Pirates' offensive outburst, which propelled him to his first win of the season. Through 33.2 innings pitched this season, De Jong owns a 5.08 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, and a 30:14 K:BB. He lines up to face the Mets later this week.

Chase De Jong (0-3) was saddled with the loss Tuesday against the Rockies, allowing five runs on nine hits and no walks across five innings. He struck out three.

Fantasy Impact

De Jong was dramatically out-pitched by German Marquez on the opposing side, so he didn't have a chance for the win. The right-hander did tie a season high with five innings, but also a season high with five runs allowed. He'll carry his 5.65 ERA into his next outing, which should come against Atlanta next week.
