Glenn Sparkman Takes Hard-Luck Loss
6 years agoKansas City Royals starting pitcher Glenn Sparkman did his part on Sunday, holding the White Sox to just one earned run (two total runs) over 6 1/3 innings of work, but he was credited with the loss due to the poor performance of his offense and bullpen. Sparkman only struck out two during the outing, and he gave up eight hits, but he was able to draw outs when he needed to. Unfortunately, his low strikeout rate and bad team make him a pretty unattractive fantasy option, especially with an xFIP north of 5.00. He should only be owned in the deepest of leagues, and he should not be played against the first-place Twins later this week.
