Jake Arrieta struggles in loss to Brewers
by Mike Maher | Wed, May 15th 11:22pm EDT
Phillies starter Jake Arrieta allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits and four walks while striking out five over six innings in a loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday. The loss drops him to 4-4 on the season.
Fantasy Impact:
While he has somewhat defied the metrics for the last few years, Arrieta has been gradually trending in the wrong direction. His ERA is on pace to increase for the fourth straight season, while his strikeouts have been declining at a similarly concerning rate. Still, he has pitched well enough to contribute in fantasy and has proven capable of pitching well despite the decline in strikeouts. His next start is scheduled to come against the Cubs in Chicago.
