3 years agoSan Diego Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove had a fantastic outing against the San Francisco Giants on Thursday. He pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and four walks while striking out six. Unfortunately, he wound up with a no decision as the Padres eventually won the game in 10 innings. The 29-year-old has been nothing short of sensational this year. Across 15 starts, he's gone 8-2 with a 2.09 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP. He's earned a quality start in all but one of his 15 outings. His next start -- which will be his final start before the All-Star break -- is going to be a challenging one against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field next Wednesday. Despite the tough pitching environment, fantasy managers should have no hesitation in starting Musgrove for the matchup.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller

3 years agoSan Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove proved himself mortal on Thursday by allowing a season-high six earned runs in his club's 6-2 loss to the Phillies. The right-hander cruised through the first five innings by retiring 12 consecutive batters at one point, but was ultimately undone by a Kyle Schwarber two-run homer and a J.T. Realmuto three-run shot in the sixth inning. It was the first time all year that Musgrove allowed more than two earned runs in a start as he finished the contest with seven hits allowed and a 1/1 K/BB through six complete frames. The 29-year-old still owns an outstanding 2.12 ERA and 0.95 WHIP as he'll look to bounce back in a matchup versus the rival Dodgers on the road next week.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
