Dane Dunning stumbles, Rangers still triumph
by Chris Schommer | Rangers Correspondent | Sun, May 5th 7:52am EDT
Dane Dunning pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four in Saturday's 15-4 win over the Royals.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the Rangers' offensive explosion, Dunning couldn't capitalize fully, exiting early and missing out on a potential win due to a lackluster performance. His season ERA now sits at 4.10 with a solid 1.15 WHIP, but his FIP of 5.00 suggests some underlying issues that could spell trouble. Fantasy managers should be cautious, as his high strikeout rate (10.4 K/9) is tempered by the potential for volatility indicated by his peripheral metrics. Moving forward, Dunning remains a risky play, particularly in matchups against high-scoring teams.
