Parker's Solid Start Not Enough in Nationals' Loss
by Jesse Garcia | Nationals Correspondent | Thu, May 9th 7:36am EDT
Mitchell Parker delivered a decent outing, allowing two earned runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three over 5.2 innings in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a solid performance, Parker's effort wasn't enough to secure a win for the Nationals, as the bullpen couldn't hold the line. With this latest start, Parker maintains a strong 2.67 ERA and 1.07 WHIP for the season, indicators of his reliable presence in the rotation. His strikeout numbers weren't flashy this game, but his consistent control and ability to limit damage keep him as a viable option in most fantasy formats. Moving forward, fantasy managers should continue to view Parker as a steady, if not spectacular, contributor to their pitching staffs.
