This was not Elder's best performance of the season, but it was a nice rebound from his worst last week in Boston. Staked to an early advantage, Elder surrendered the lead on a two-run homer in the second inning. After that, he settled in to allow just one more run over the next four-plus frames, eventually earning his fifth win of the season. Elder is sporting a strong 2.63 ERA and 1.08 WHIP through 13 starts.

Bryce Elder gave up six runs (five earned) on nine hits and one walk while striking out just one over 3 1/3 innings in Wednesday's 8-0 loss to the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact

The first three frames of Wednesday's outing went well enough for Elder, as he held the Red Sox scoreless in what seemed to be shaping up as a pitcher's duel. The fourth inning, however, told a different story, as Elder retired just one batter while being tagged for more runs than his previous three starts combined. Elder has had a fantastic first third of the season, so he's earned the patience of fantasy managers. Another dud like this will certainly test that.

Aside from a solo homer in the sixth, the 27-year-old righty shut down the Nationals offense, lowering his ERA back below 2.00 through 11 starts. Elder will carry a 4-2 record into his next start on Thursday in Boston.

The righty has been excellent overall through 10 starts, putting up a 2.01 ERA and 0.99 WHIP with a 56-20 K/BB ratio across 62 2/3 innings.
