Walker (6-3) allowed the Rockies to score only three runs despite allowing 10 baserunners (six hits, four walks) in six innings during Wednesday's 16-5 win at Coors Field. He struck out eight.
Those in leagues that count quality starts have to be happy with this outing, which met only the minimum requirements for that designation. When you're pitching in Colorado, that's a golden outcome. A high WHIP has bugged Walker this year, but he's a respectable fantasy starter thanks to his solid contributions in strikeout rate and ERA for an Arizona team that's been winning a lot.
