Mason Black shines in tight victory over Royals
by Chris Schommer | Giants Correspondent | Sat, Sep 21st 11:17am EDT
Mason Black delivered a strong performance on Friday, allowing no earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four over 5 2/3 innings in the Giants' 2-1 win against the Royals.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing was a breath of fresh air for Black and his fantasy managers, considering his rocky season stats with a 5.88 ERA and 1.51 WHIP entering the game. His ability to keep runs off the board in this appearance could be a sign of turning things around, but his high ERA and WHIP still loom large for fantasy managers. While the improvement in his strikeout-to-walk ratio and a clean game might tempt some to take a chance on him, it's wise to approach with caution given the overall inconsistency this season.
