George Kirby stays steady, Mariners fall short

George Kirby (SP - SEA)

George Kirby delivered a solid outing in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Astros.

Fantasy Impact
He pitched six innings, allowing just one earned run on four hits, with no walks and three strikeouts. Despite Kirby's strong performance, his efforts weren't enough to secure a win for the Mariners. This game is a testament to Kirby's consistent season, maintaining a commendable 3.76 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP through his first seven starts. His ability to limit walks, evidenced by a stellar 10.25 strikeout-to-walk ratio, continues to make him a reliable option in fantasy leagues. While the strikeouts were a bit lower than usual this game, his control and efficiency should keep him as a favored starter in most fantasy rotations.
