Esmil Rogers pitches a bumpy inning for the Yankees
by Chris Zolli | Mon, May 4th 1:33pm EDT
Rogers pitched an inning against the Red Sox last night, allowing a three-run home run to Mike Napoli to move the Red Sox closer at 8-5. Two of the runs were charged to starter Adam Warren and Rogers allowed two hits, one walk, and struck out one batter.
Fantasy Impact:
Rogers had won on Friday night and the sixth inning run is only the fifth that Rogers had allowed in 17 1/3 innings. Rogers has a 1.04 WHIP this season and 17 strikeouts against only five walks. One issue for Rogers is that he has allowed three home runs this season; in fact, four of the five runs that Rogers has allowed this season are off of home runs. Rogers had only allowed 1.18 home runs per nine innings coming into 2015 and if he is able to curtail his home runs allowed, he will be even more valuable.
