Fedde, coming off a shutout of the Nationals, kept his scoreless streak intact, but he wasn’t allowed to go very deep into this one. The surprising thing was that the Cardinals brought in Steven Matz to replace him in a scoreless tie, rather than going to their late-game relievers. It worked out initially, as Matz stranded both runners he inherited in the sixth. Matz, though, gave up two runs in the seventh in the eventual 2-1 loss. Fedde ended this one with three strikeouts and four walks. He has his ERA down to 3.44, but we’d still suggest staying away in mixed leagues. He’ll face the Tigers next.

Fedde’s shutout came with a whopping 15 hard-hit balls allowed. Most of them were grounders, though, and two were double-play balls from Nathaniel Lowe. Fedde wound up allowing six hits, walking none and striking out eight in his first ever complete game. He came into the night with a 4.78 ERA and a 21/21 K/BB in 37 2/3 innings. We still wouldn’t at all recommend picking him up in mixed leagues, and he’ll be a particularly poor play with a road start in Philly coming up.

Fedde gave up six hits, walked five and struck out four. He had allowed two runs through five innings and was pulled after letting the first two batters reach in the sixth inning, with one of the inherited runners scoring against Kyle Leahy. While the win was Fedde’s second of the season, it’s been an uneven start to the year for the 32-year-old right-hander. He’ll take a 4.78 ERA into his start next weekend against the Nationals on the road, though his 5.62 xFIP suggests he’s best left on fantasy benches for now.

Steady rain in the forecast throughout Saturday evening in the St. Louis are thanks to a stalled low pressure system made this a relatively easy decision. It’ll be made up on Sunday as a split doubleheader. Saturday’s original starters – Tylor Megill and Erick Fedde – will presumably be pushed back to take the ball at some point during the twin bill.
