Cooper Criswell strikes out nine, Red Sox top Nationals
by Chris Schommer | Red Sox Correspondent | Sun, May 12th 7:13am EDT
Cooper Criswell delivered a solid performance, allowing two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out nine over five innings in the Red Sox's 4-2 victory over the Nationals on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not factoring into the decision, Criswell's outing was a testament to his ability to manage games effectively, evidenced by his season-long stats including a commendable 2.10 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP. His high strikeout count continues to bolster his fantasy value, especially with an 8.8 K/9 rate. However, his 4.04 FIP suggests some underlying concerns that could affect his performance stability moving forward. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his ability to maintain such dominance, particularly in terms of strikeout-to-walk ratio and WHIP, which are critical for sustained success.
