Quinn Priester delivered a strong performance, allowing no earned runs on just three hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Despite Priester's solid outing, his efforts weren't enough to secure a win for the Pirates, leaving his season record untouched at zero wins and one loss. His season ERA improved to 3.48 and WHIP to 1.16, indicating a potentially reliable option in fantasy rotations, especially in deeper leagues. However, his moderate strikeout rate (7.0 K/9) and high FIP (6.06) suggest that fantasy managers should temper expectations. Priester's performance in this game could be a sign of stability, but his fantasy impact remains limited by the metrics and the Pirates' overall performance.
