George Kirby Struggles in Short Outing Against Astros
by Chase Davis | Mariners Correspondent | Fri, May 23rd 9:03am EDT
George Kirby allowed five earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over 3.2 innings in Thursday's loss to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
In Kirby's return to the rotation, the Astros jumped on him early. He went the first two innings without allowing a run and picking up two strikeouts. He allowed two hits, a hit-by-pitch, and a couple of runs in the third inning before real trouble in the fourth. With two outs, he allowed a single, a walk, a single, and a triple to give up three more runs and end his day. He allowed six hard hits in this one, but most importantly, he got up to 72 pitches. While this wasn't the start fantasy managers wanted to see after waiting nearly two months, it's good to see him back out there healthy. He'll look for better results next time against the Nationals.
