Welcome to Are You For Real?, a weekly column where we look at pitchers who turned in surprisingly good starts and try to determine whether they are the real deal. The All-Star break is behind us, and chances are you know whether your team is a contender at this point. Now comes the time to analyze and hopefully find the hidden gems that will help lead us to fantasy glory in the second half.
This week we re ranging the entire spectrum of pitchers, looking at an emerging youngster in Miami s Jordan Holloway, a mid-career mystery in Colorado s Jon Gray, and a veteran looking to hang on and contribute in Philadelphia s Matt Moore.
NEW YORK Aroldis Chapman allowed a run in the ninth inning before recording his first save in over a month, and the New York Yankees hit four homers to power past the Philadelphia Phillies 6-4 on Tuesday night.
Brett Gardner hit a go-ahead homer in the fifth inning before Gary Sánchez, Giancarlo Stanton and Estevan Florial also connected in the final three innings for the Yankees, who moved within seven games of AL East-leading Boston.
The struggling Chapman, who entered with a 10.80 ERA in his last 15 appearances, struck out Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins and Didi Gregorius while also giving up a solo homer to Andrew McCutchen to convert his 17th save in 21 opportunities. It was Chapman’s first save since getting a game-ending triple play against Oakland on June 20.
