Joey Lucchesi (SP - NYM)

Lucchesi (5-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Giants, allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings.

Fantasy Impact
Lucchesi recovered well after allowing a Kevin Pillar solo shot in the second inning. The Giants got to him in the fifth, stringing together a pair of singles and a walk to plate two more runs. The Padres' offense could not muster enough firepower to carry him to a win, however. Through 13 starts this season, Lucchesi holds a 4.11 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, and a 73:20 K:BB. His next start will come Monday against the Brewers at home.
