Graham Ashcraft struggles, Reds still Triumph over Angels
by Chris Schommer | Reds Correspondent | Sun, Apr 21st 9:19am EDT
Graham Ashcraft navigated through a rocky start, allowing five earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings in Saturday's 7-5 win against the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the Reds clinching the victory, Ashcraft's performance was less than stellar, pushing his ERA to an unsettling 5.24 through his first four starts of the season. His WHIP now sits at 1.34, and while his strikeout rate remains decent at 9.3 K/9, his overall effectiveness has been hampered by high run allowances. Fantasy managers should be cautious; while wins are valuable, his elevated ERA and WHIP could be detrimental to overall team performance unless he finds more consistency on the mound.
