Joey Estes Holds Off Astros in Tight Victory
by Jesse Garcia | Athletics Correspondent | Thu, Sep 12th 8:16am EDT
Joey Estes helped the Athletics edge out a 5-4 win over the Astros, delivering a solid performance.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed two earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out two over 6.2 innings. This outing was a typical display of Estes's season, characterized by moderate strikeout numbers but effective control, as evidenced by his 3.67 strikeout-to-walk ratio and 1.13 WHIP. Despite a slightly elevated 4.36 ERA and 4.57 FIP indicating some underlying struggles, his ability to limit walks and maintain a low WHIP keeps him relevant in fantasy formats that value innings eaters and WHIP contributors. Estes's performance should reassure managers looking for steady, if not spectacular, starting options.
