Lopez (0-1) shut out Detroit over seven innings on Sunday, allowing just two hits, striking out five and walking five while taking a hard-luck loss to the Tigers 1-0.
The 24-year-old impressed for a second straight outing and was unlucky to be dealt the defeat in a great pitching duel with Mike Fiers. Lopez now has a 0.69 ERA and, despite the five walks, a sparkling 0.85 WHIP through his first 13 innings of the season. It's still too early to anoint him as a go-to fantasy option, but if he keeps pitching like this, he could become one sooner rather than later, and he can probably still be found on a majority of waiver wires.
