Chris Archer picks up third win Thursday

by Elliott Baas | Thu, Jun 6th 7:31pm EDT

Chris Archer allowed one run on six hits over six innings in the Pirates' 6-1 win over the Braves on Thursday. He walked two and struck out six while improving to 3-5.

Fantasy Impact:

That makes back-to-back wins for Archer, and his first quality start since April 14 to boot. Maybe there's hope for him yet, even if he allowed a home run for the seventh straight start. Treat Archer a lot like Yu Darvish right now; we know there's talent here, but each pitcher has kinks to work out. That means Archer is best used as a matchup-play for now. His next matchup is Tuesday at Atlanta.
