Wacha (2-1) suffered the loss Thursday in Arizona despite striking out nine while giving up three runs on five hits and two walks in seven innings.
After Wacha recorded zero strikeouts in his last start, he recovered with a season high in whiffs, but also gave up his first two homers of the year. The 24-year-old righty has had some bad luck with BABIP and strand rate in the early going, but has nonetheless been pretty decent outside of his rough first start. Wacha may not be blowing the world away right now, but his combination of solid production and upside makes for a strong fantasy asset.
