Brandon McCarthy tossed six shutout innings with eight strikeouts

Brandon McCarthy allowed three hits and struck out eight without allowing an earned run Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. 55-of-77 pitches were thrown for strikes.

Fantasy Impact:

Since returning to the starting rotation, McCarthy is 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA, 0.75 WHIP with 22 strikeouts in 16 innings. The thing that victimized McCarthy last year was the home run ball, but so far, he's only allowed one. As he gets more starts under his belt, the pitch count should increase as well. Keep an eye on how the Dodgers manage that going forward. McCarthy is next scheduled to start in St. Louis to face the Cardinals, a team that ranks 3rd in OPS against right-handed pitching.
