Fiers (11-8) surrendered two runs on four hits and three walks Thursday while striking out nine in a loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Fiers settled down and retired 13 consecutive batters after a rough first inning in which he allowed a two-run blast to Albert Pujols. The former Milwaukee Brewer has posted six quality starts over his last seven appearances, but his ERA and WHIP remain bloated during the second half. These stats and his meager 13.3 percent strikeout rate limit his value for fantasy purposes.
