Braxton Ashcraft solid in limited outing against Cardinals
by Chase Davis | Pirates Correspondent | Fri, Aug 29th 9:32am EDT
Braxton Ashcraft allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out five over 5.2 innings in Thursday's loss to the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
After today’s performance, Ashcraft holds a 2.58 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with a 4-2 record across five starts this season. This marks three straight outings for him of going at least five innings after moving to the rotation. He has done a great job of limiting damage, but he hasn't been given too long a leash yet-- only throwing 73 pitches in this one. While he's been impressive so far, he gets the Dodgers next, and managers will probably want to sit him for that matchup in the fantasy playoffs.
