Lucas Harrell outdueled Clayton Kershaw beat the Dodgers by allowing one run and five hits in 7 1/3 innings Friday. Harrell won despite not getting a single strikeout. What he did do was post a 16/3 GB/FB ratio. He's now 4-3 with a 3.72 ERA in his nine starts for the Astros. He's still not a very good bet to provide lasting value in NL-only leagues, but he's been exactly what Houston needed him to be.
