View More NewsPaul Blackburn shines in dominant win over Marlins
Paul Blackburn delivered a strong performance on Saturday, allowing just one earned run on four hits and a walk while striking out three over seven innings in the Athletics' 20-4 rout of the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
This outing underscores Blackburn's solid start to the season, as he now boasts a 3.00 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP through seven starts. Despite a lower-than-average strikeout rate at 6.6 K/9, his ability to limit walks and hits has been key to his success. Blackburn's performance today, particularly in such a lopsided victory, should reassure fantasy managers of his reliability as a steady starter in their rotations, especially in deeper leagues where consistent innings and ERA management are crucial. His low BABIP suggests some luck, but his overall metrics indicate he can be a valuable asset moving forward.
