Pablo Lopez Tosses Complete-Game Shutout
1 year agoMinnesota Twins right-hander Pablo Lopez was at his best on Wednesday night in the team's 5-0 victory over the visiting Kansas City Royals. Lopez threw his first career complete-game shutout by holding the Royals scoreless over nine innings of work while giving up four hits, walking none and striking out a season-high and career-high 12 hitters. The 27-year-old hurler's stellar outing lowered his season ERA to 3.89 (3.18 FIP), and he also sports a 1.09 WHIP, 30 walks and 138 strikeouts in 111 innings over 18 starts in his first year with the Twins. Lopez has now fanned 28 hitters and walked only four in 21 innings in his last three starts, and he's picked up quality starts in five of his last six outings. Fantasy managers will be hoping that he can maintain this momentum heading into the second half of the season.
