Ashcraft Shines, Reds' Bats Fall Silent in Loss
by Jesse Garcia | Reds Correspondent | Wed, May 1st 10:57pm EDT
Graham Ashcraft delivered a strong performance, tossing six scoreless innings while allowing five hits and two walks, striking out four against the Padres on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite his solid outing, Ashcraft didn't factor into the decision as the Reds fell 6-2. This performance should reassure fantasy managers after a somewhat rocky start to the season, evidenced by his 3.63 ERA and 1.27 WHIP coming into the game. His ability to suppress runs in this outing while maintaining a decent strikeout rate and a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio highlights his potential value in fantasy lineups, especially in deeper leagues. However, the inconsistency in run support from the Reds' lineup could be a concern for his win potential moving forward.
