Joel Payamps Seals the Deal in Tight 1-0 Victory

Joel Payamps delivered a clean inning to notch a save as the Brewers edged out the Padres 1-0 on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact:
He threw 16 pitches in a flawless frame, allowing no hits, walks, or runs, although he didn't record any strikeouts. Despite a rocky start to the season with a 4.91 ERA, Payamps's performance in this outing could be a sign of stabilization, especially considering his solid 0.68 WHIP. His ability to secure games without allowing base runners is a valuable asset in fantasy formats that reward saves and holds, though his lack of strikeouts in this appearance might not appeal to those in need of punchouts. Moving forward, if Payamps can maintain this level of control, he might carve out a more reliable role in high-leverage situations, potentially boosting his fantasy stock.
