Joe Boyle delivered a solid performance, allowing just one earned run on one hit and four walks while striking out four over five innings in Monday's 5-1 win against the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a rocky season with a 6.08 ERA and a 1.65 WHIP, this outing was a step in the right direction. Boyle's ability to limit hits was a highlight, though his control issues persisted with four walks. His season-long strikeout rate remains decent at 9.5 K/9, suggesting he can be a valuable asset in fantasy leagues that heavily reward strikeouts. However, his high ERA and WHIP make him a risky play.
