Walker (3-2) took a loss Sunday against the Rockies, allowing three runs (one earned) over 5.2 innings while conceding seven hits and no walks. He struck out one batter.
Aside from surrendering a solo homer to Mark Reynolds in the second inning, Walker mostly excelled at averting disaster at Coors Field. Only two of the seven hits he gave up went for extra bases, and he tied a season high by generating 11 ground balls. The right-hander's traded his usually strong strikeout totals for an increase in weak contact, but fantasy owners will probably be satisfied enough that he was able to lower his season ERA in what was a scary matchup.
