CC Sabathia struggles through five innings
by Chris Zolli | Fri, Apr 21st 9:09pm EDT
CC Sabathia allowed four runs on seven hits in five innings against the Pirates on Friday night. Sabathia, who was pulled for a pinch hitter in the top of the sixth, walked two batters and struck out three batters. He has a 2.70 ERA this season and will face the Red Sox in Boston in his next start.
Fantasy Impact:
Sabathia posted three straight quality starts to open the season, but allowed two home runs in the first two innings and could never find his rhythm. His 2.70 ERA and 1.20 WHIP are still good, but his lack of strikeouts (14 in 23 1/3 innings) limits his fantasy value. Current Red Sox have a .657 OPS in 168 career at-bats against Sabathia.
