A.J. Griffin limited the Astros to two runs over five innings as the Rangers' beat Houston 10-4 Thursday night. Over five, he allowed six hits and two runs (one earned) while walking one and striking out seven. With the win, Griffin's record improves to 3-0 on the year. Next up for him is Luis Perdomo and the Padres, Tuesday afternoon in San Diego.
Fantasy Impact
Griffin's FIP stands at 4.23 and his ERA at 3.54, both of which are a bright spot in the Rangers' rotation right now. This is only his fourth game but he has yet to pitch beyond the sixth, and at this point that's not a negative. He'll need to improve that before becoming fodder for pick up or streaming but his numbers don't look bad thus far.
