Graham Ashcraft delivered a strong performance, tossing six scoreless innings while allowing five hits and two walks, striking out four against the Padres on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his solid outing, Ashcraft didn't factor into the decision as the Reds fell 6-2. This performance should reassure fantasy managers after a somewhat rocky start to the season, evidenced by his 3.63 ERA and 1.27 WHIP coming into the game. His ability to suppress runs in this outing while maintaining a decent strikeout rate and a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio highlights his potential value in fantasy lineups, especially in deeper leagues. However, the inconsistency in run support from the Reds' lineup could be a concern for his win potential moving forward.
