Jordan Hicks strikes out nine, Giants fall short
by Chris Schommer | Giants Correspondent | Sun, Apr 28th 8:46am EDT
Jordan Hicks delivered a strong performance, striking out nine over six innings while allowing just one earned run in the Giants' 4-3 loss to the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite his efforts, the team couldn't capitalize on his solid outing. This game further solidifies Hicks's role as a reliable starter, with his season ERA now impressively low at 1.59 and a WHIP of 0.91. His strikeout numbers from this outing have given a significant boost to his K/9 ratio, enhancing his fantasy value, especially in leagues that reward strikeouts heavily. However, the lack of wins and saves might limit his appeal in certain formats. Going forward, Hicks remains a strong option, particularly for his ERA and WHIP contributions, but fantasy managers should temper expectations for wins.
