Framber Valdez Hurls Complete Game Friday
Houston Astros starting pitcher Framber Valdez allowed just one run while pitching a complete game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. He earned the win as Houston snuck by with a 2-1 victory. In addition to the one earned run over nine innings of work, Valdez's final line included three hits, one walk, and nine strikeouts. He improved to 5-4 on the year and saw his strikeout rate dip ever slightly to 8.42 K/9. Even more impressive are his 2.77 BB/9 and 56.5 percent ground ball rate. Very few MLB pitchers have demonstrated as much length as Valdez, who now has at least one complete game in each of the last five seasons. He remains a dependable option for the Astros and fantasy managers.
