Janson Junk Strikes Out 5 in Marlins' Loss to Giants on May 30
Against the San Francisco Giants, Miami Marlins' reliever Janson Junk fanned five batters in a 2-0 loss.
What It Means
After fanning five batters in the loss to the Giants, Junk has shown that his strikeout ability is in peak form. This outing bumps his K/9 to a notable level given his limited innings this season.
His spring training saw a higher ERA, but his recent regular-season appearance marks a distinct improvement with an ERA of 1.80. In his first game of the season, his 5 strikeouts outpaced the 4 he had in spring over a longer stretch, hinting at an upward trend in his strikeout efficiency.
