Aroldis Chapman Earns Win Monday
1 year agoTexas Rangers relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman picked up his fifth win of the season in Monday's 3-2 game against the Rays. Chapman came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning with the game tied 2-2 and delivered a 1-2-3 inning with three strikeouts. The Rangers were able to walk it off in the bottom half of the inning, making Chapman the pitcher of record. The change of scenery seems to be good news for fantasy managers, as manager Bruce Bochy said Chapman and William Smith will share closer duties in the second half. Chapman has looked like his old self this season with a 5-2 record, three saves, and a 2.04 ERA, 16.05 K/9 rate, and 5.09 BB/9 rate. Both he and Smith should provide fantasy value in most leagues even if they do split closing duties.
