Cole Irvin shines in shutout against Reds
by Chris Schommer | Orioles Correspondent | Sat, May 4th 8:34am EDT
Cole Irvin delivered a masterful performance on Friday, tossing 6 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing just two hits, with no walks and four strikeouts in a 3-0 victory over the Reds.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing continues a strong season for Irvin, who now boasts a 2.86 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP through six starts. His control was on full display, maintaining a solid 3.14 strikeout-to-walk ratio while keeping his BABIP steady at .267. Despite a lower-than-average strikeout rate (5.7 K/9), Irvin's ability to limit base runners and prevent scoring plays well for fantasy managers looking for reliable starting options. His consistent performance should keep him relevant in mixed leagues, particularly for those valuing ERA and WHIP over strikeouts.
