Zach Putnam dominates the eighth inning as the White Sox sweep the Astros
by Rob Schwarz, Jr. | Thu, Jun 11th 10:49am EDT
Zach Putnam pitched an inning that every reliever hopes to pitch when called to the mound. Putnam faced three hitters and fanned them all. Three up, three down they say, as he pitched three strikeouts and recorded his third Hold of the season.
Fantasy Impact:
Putnam has performed well as of late. He now has a 3.66 ERA, but over the last seven games, he has pitched an ERA of 1.35 while striking out 13. He is now pitching close to his career average. If the White Sox start leaning more on Putnam in Hold situations, he could make for a great reliever in leagues who reward relief pitchers for Holds. He has little value in other formats though.
