Ryan Mountcastle went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI as the Orioles edged out the Nationals 7-6.
Fantasy Impact
His solo blast contributed crucially to the narrow win, marking his sixth homer of the season. Despite a modest .277 batting average over 33 games, Mountcastle's power numbers are respectable, and his performance in clutch situations continues to bolster his fantasy relevance. Owners should note his steady RBI production, now totaling 18, which, paired with his ability to occasionally leave the yard, keeps him as a viable option in mixed leagues. However, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate suggest potential volatility in his batting average, so temper expectations accordingly.
