King Crumbles Against Rockies
by Jesse Garcia | Padres Correspondent | Thu, May 16th 7:37am EDT
Michael King struggled in Wednesday's 8-0 loss to the Rockies, allowing six earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5.1 innings.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing marks a setback for King, who had maintained a somewhat respectable 4.31 ERA and 1.36 WHIP through his first nine starts of the season. His performance today, characterized by a lack of control and an inability to limit damage, inflated his ERA and could raise concerns about his consistency moving forward. Despite a solid 10.1 K/9 rate, his elevated 5.08 FIP suggests that some regression was perhaps inevitable. Fantasy managers should monitor his next few starts closely, as they could indicate whether this game was an outlier or a sign of a troubling trend.
