Taijuan Walker hit hard in no-decision against Phillies on Thursday
by Dan Harris | Phillies Correspondent | Thu, May 5th 10:42pm EDT
Taijuan Walker allowed seven runs (six earned) on nine hits and two walks over four innings on Thursday against the Phillies. He struck out two and did not factor into the decision.
Fantasy Impact:
Walker was primed for a loss before the Mets made a stunning comeback in the ninth inning. The Phillies jumped on him right from the start, with four runs in the first inning and another in the second, and Walker's velocity was down nearly a mile per hour from his average. There's nothing at the moment to indicate an injury, so assume this is just the ups and downs of a non-elite pitcher, and don't shy away from Walker going forward entirely. He will take on the Nationals in his next start.
