Sean Newcomb Shuts Down Rockies Over Six Shutout Innings
7 years agoAfter getting rocked for six runs — five earned — in his first start of the year, Braves pitcher Sean Newcomb had a dominant outing Sunday, pitching six shutout innings against Colorado. Newcomb allowed five hits while tying his career-high with nine strikeouts. It was a good bounce-back performance for the 24-year-old, who fantasy owners hope will have a breakout season this year. Newcomb is scheduled to start next weekend against the Cubs in what could be a favorable match-up for fantasy owners, as Chicago is tied for fourth-most in MLB with 85 team strikeouts.
