R.A. Dickey pitches well despite awful first inning

R.A. Dickey (SP - FA)

R.A. Dickey's rough April continued on Wednesday as he allowed three first inning runs to the division foe Orioles. After the first, however, he settled in and tossed five shutout innings. Dickey gave up five hits and walked two, but struck out four.

Fantasy Impact
By the very definition of the term, it was a quality start. His ERA dropped to 6.10 so he's really not that far off from his career norms of starting the season off slowly.
