Fields fired a pair of scoreless innings while recording two strikeouts in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old has gotten off the best start of his career in 2017, posting a 0.55 ERA through 16.1 innings. A big part of veteran's success has been a career-best 7.0 K/BB ratio. His 92.3 percent strand rate seems unsustainable, but nothing else in his peripherals points to a big regression (1.18 FIP). Sergio Romo has struggled this season and Pedro Baez has been pitching above his head (5.11 FIP), so Fields could find himself becoming the Dodgers' top right-handed setup man if he keeps this up.
