Garrett Crochet Strikes Out Nine In No-Decision
4 months agoChicago White Sox starting pitcher Garrett Crochet threw just four innings in Friday's 5-4 win over the Astros, however, the southpaw was very effective, allowing just four hits and one earned run with no walks and nine punchouts, although he was unable to factor into the decision. It was a nice bounceback from the last time out when the 25-year-old was roughed up for seven earned runs after he allowed nine hits (four home runs) in just two-and-a-third innings. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the former first-round draft pick has not pitched beyond the fourth inning in any of his last seven starts, which is going to preclude him from earning any wins if that will be the case for the remainder of the season, so his fantasy value has taken a hit, although he's clearly still a good source of strikeouts.
