Yusei Kikuchi delivered a strong performance on Thursday, allowing just one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings in the Blue Jays' 6-5 win against the Orioles.
Fantasy Impact
This outing was a bright spot in what has been a fairly solid season for Kikuchi, lowering his ERA to 3.48 and improving his record to 3-5. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (8.8 K/9) and a commendable 4.73 strikeout-to-walk ratio continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially in categories that value strikeouts and WHIP. While his BABIP suggests some hits may have been unlucky this season, his strong FIP indicates that his performance has been quite effective. Fantasy managers should consider Kikuchi a reliable option, particularly in matchups against less formidable lineups.
