Kenta Maeda strikes out eight
by Stan Son | Sat, May 6th 12:42am EDT
Kenta Maeda allowed three hits, one earned run, walked three, and struck out eight in five innings Friday night against the San Diego Padres. 50-of-87 pitches were thrown for strikes.
Fantasy Impact:
That makes back-to-back starts with eight strikeouts without allowing a home run for Maeda. The swinging strike rate has been elite all season long (14%), so it was only a matter of time before he got things under control. A concern with Maeda is that he does not pitch deep into games. In his brief Dodgers career, he's completed seven innings only three times. Maeda is next scheduled to face the Pirates, a team that ranks 24th in wOBA, but 29th in strikeouts against RHP.
