Picks up first win
Stratton (1-0) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two batters over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Stratton got the last out of the seventh inning and stayed in for the eighth in a 4-4 game. The Cardinals pulled ahead in the ninth, and Giovanny Gallegos earned the save to give Stratton his first win in 14 appearances this season. Stratton has done relatively well in a low-leverage role with a 2.95 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB over 21.1 innings. He's logged the most innings of any Cardinals reliever this season, but his ability to cover multiple frames likely prevents him from being a candidate for save chances.

Stratton literally spun his way back into fantasy relevancy while pitching for the lowly Pirates. He came onto the scene in 2018 with 10 wins with unsightly ratios, but quickly faded away in 2019 and found himself shipped off to Pittsburgh, where his repertoire was tweaked and he has pitched surprisingly well. Last season, he garnered seven wins and eight saves for a terrible club and did so with some of the best fastball and curveball spin rates in the league. He doesn't throw hard, but his pitches have life -- sometimes almost too much, as they ride out of the strike zone. The Pirates will once again be terrible, but Stratton figures to have a prominent role in the late-inning bullpen to resume where he left off in 2021. He is out of options, so the club will keep him around as long as he continues this career renaissance.
