Cole Irvin Earns Win Despite Shaky Outing
Cole Irvin earned his fifth win of the season on Tuesday despite allowing seven hits and three runs in five innings pitched. Irvin was spotted a nine-run lead in the first inning and was able to do just enough to make it through five innings and qualify for the victory. The left-hander has a solid 3.98 ERA supported by a 3.79 FIP, but he's not much of a fantasy option thanks to a dearth of strikeouts. Irvin's 16.4 percent strikeout rate is among the lowest in baseball and he's never had a strikeout rate above 20 percent in any of his three Big League seasons. He'll face a tough Giants lineup in his next start on Sunday.
