Walker pitched 5.1 scoreless innings during Monday's win over the Mets, allowing seven hits and a walk while striking out four batters. He didn't factor into the decision.
This was an excellent outing from Walker after he'd posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.48 WHIP through his previous four starts. There have been minor peaks and valleys throughout the season, but with a 3.66 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 8.0 K/9 for the campaign, he's a solid fantasy asset in the majority of settings. Walker lines up to face the Giants at Chase Field in his next start.
