Luis Gil delivered a masterful performance on Wednesday, allowing no earned runs on just two hits and one walk while striking out five over 6.1 innings in a 2-0 victory over the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a significant improvement for Gil, whose season had been marked by inconsistency, as evidenced by his 4.01 ERA and 1.34 WHIP entering the game. His ability to suppress runs while maintaining a high strikeout rate (11.6 K/9) continues to make him an intriguing fantasy option, particularly in leagues that reward strikeouts heavily. The low BABIP (.227) suggests some luck, but his solid outing could be a sign of turning the corner. Fantasy managers should consider Gil a high-risk, high-reward play, depending on matchups and his ability to control the walk rate.
