Walker (5-10) gave up three runs on seven hits Thursday in a win over Texas. He struck out three, walked two and hit a batter.
Fortunately for Walker, opposing starter Derek Holland was even worse, letting him get away with the victory. He also got off relatively easy with the Rangers scoring just three runs off the 10 men he put on base. The 24-year-old has all the raw stuff you look for, but we're still waiting for him to put it all together. There hasn't been much in his four starts since returning from a stint in the minors to suggest that Walker should be widely owned in fantasy down the stretch.
