CC Sabathia shuts down Rays

by Chris Zolli | Tue, Apr 4th 9:04pm EDT

CC Sabathia pitched five shutout innings against the Rays on Tuesday, allowing only three hits against Tampa Bay. Sabathia struck out two batters and walked two, providing a good bounce back after Masahiro Tanaka allowed seven runs on Opening Day. He will face the Orioles in Baltimore on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Sabathia controlled the strikezone and really was not in trouble at any point. While his strikeouts are down, Sabathia pitched well at the end of 2016 and now has put up a great performance to open the season. Orioles hitters have a career .748 OPS against Sabathia in 293 career at-bats, with Adam Jones posting a .929 OPS in 70 at-bats against the left-hander.
