Zack Greinke (14-5) scattered five hits over 6 2/3 shutout innings to earn his 14th win of the season as the Diamondbacks beat the Astros 2-0 on Monday. Greinke struck out nine and walked two in the 100-pitch effort.

Fantasy Impact

Greinke has had some ups-and-downs since the All-Star break but he put together a strong outing against a good offense on Monday to lower his season ERA down to 3.01. Greinke has had a nice bounce back season in his second year with the Diamondbacks and has been a draft day value for those that took a chance on him. His next scheduled start will come on Saturday against the Twins in Minnesota.

Fantasy Impact

Greinke gave up two of the three runs in the seventh inning, and so he pitched much better than his line for most of the game. Although the four walks were uncharacteristically high, Greinke's start represented a nice bounce-back effort after he was hit hard by the Cubs in his last start. He'll get another tough test against the Astros in his next start.
