Griffin Canning delivers, but Angels fall short

Griffin Canning tossed a solid outing, allowing zero earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 5 2/3 innings in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the strong performance, Canning's season has been less than stellar, marked by a high 5.75 ERA and a modest 6.4 K/9 across eight starts. This outing, however, could be a sign of turning things around, especially considering his ability to limit the Royals to just three hits. His 1.35 WHIP and 5.08 FIP suggest there's still a lot of room for improvement, but performances like this one might hint at a potential upward trend. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Canning, as consistency in upcoming starts could make him a viable streaming option or even a regular in deeper leagues.
