Max Meyer worked five innings and allowed three runs while not picking up a decision versus Atlanta on Tuesday.
Meyer’s swing-and-miss stuff was readily apparent, as he generated 14 whiffs on 82 pitches while striking out five. It was still just a so-so start — at least in terms of run prevention, which is pretty important, we suppose — as he gave up a run in the second and two more in the third. Meyer flashes brilliance often, but fantasy managers are still waiting for him to put it together for more than a few outings. The Cardinals are next.
