Joe Musgrove delivered a solid outing, allowing two earned runs on four hits while striking out nine over six innings in the Padres' 6-2 victory over the Reds on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
This performance was a refreshing change from his troubling start to the season, which saw him enter the game with a hefty 6.37 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP. Despite the high strikeout count in this outing, Musgrove's season-long issues with a high ERA and WHIP suggest that consistency remains a concern. Fantasy managers should view this performance as a positive step, but it's wise to remain cautious, considering his overall season metrics. His ability to maintain control, as evidenced by zero walks in this game, offers some hope for improvement.
