From Rotoworld: Peacock moved to 6-1 after allowing three runs in six-plus innings Tuesday against the Braves. Peacock had a shutout going until the seventh, when he allowed five straight batters to reach. Fortunately for him, Ashur Tolliver was able to prevent the leftover runners from scoring after taking over with none out in the frame. Even though he got to face the opposing starter for once, Peacock struck out just seven tonight, a mild upset for someone averaging 13.2 K/9 IP.
Happ fired six innings of one-run ball in a 4-1 victory over the Yankees on Tuesday. The only damage was a long home run off the bat of Aaron Judge, so really, join the club there. The southpaw gave up four hits in all while striking out six and walking a pair. He now owns a 1.99 ERA and 30/5 K/BB ratio over his last five starts.
