Alex Young

Alex Young took the loss on Thursday against the Mets, giving up six runs (but just one earned) on five hits over 2 2/3 innings pitched.

Fantasy Impact

The lefty allowed two homers, struck out three, and walked two. A Nick Ahmed error basically saved his ERA but Young has now allowed three earned runs or less in five straight starts. He'll carry a 3.38 ERA into a matchup with the Marlins next time out.

Fantasy Impact

Young struggled right away in this one and then settled down a bit before giving up three runs in the fifth. He has now given up nine runs over his past two starts and should be left on the waiver wire for his next start against the Rockies.
