Michael Wacha delivered a strong performance, allowing just one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
This outing marked a significant improvement for Wacha, who now carries a less-than-stellar 4.71 ERA and 1.37 WHIP. His ability to limit hits and maintain a high strikeout count in this outing suggests potential for better consistency, which could make him a more reliable option in fantasy rotations. However, his overall season metrics, including a high ERA and WHIP, should keep expectations in check. Fantasy managers would do well to monitor his next few starts closely to see if this performance is a turning point.
