3 years agoNew York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker allowed three earned runs on seven hits over 4 2/3 innings pitched in the Mets 6-5 win over the Miami Marlins in Game 1 of a doubleheader on Monday. The game played was a resumption of a suspended game (due to weather) between the two teams from April 11. Marcus Stroman had started the game back on April 11 and recorded an out prior to the game's suspension. Walker was called on to pitch the resumed game, so his appearance will not go down as a game started for him. It was an uneven appearance for Walker where he was touched up for three runs but did not walk a batter and struck out six. On the season, Walker now owns a 3.89 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 123 strikeouts over 134 1/3 IP in 24 starts (25 games). Walker, who has been a pleasant surprise for the Mets and fantasy managers in 2021, should remain active in all fantasy formats down the stretch in September.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
