Fantasy Baseball Box Score Breakouts: April 6, 2010

Here’s a look at some unheralded players who played well yesterday.

Barry Zito, San Francisco Giants

Zito continued the Giants’ dominance with six scoreless innings. He gave up just three hits, struck out five, and walked one.

Nick Swisher, New York Yankees

Swisher continued his hot start, going 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and an RBI. He’s up to .429 on the year.

Adrian Beltre, Boston Red Sox

Beltre also went 2-for-4 to raise his average to .429 as well.

Casey McGehee, Milwaukee Brewers

After a strong rookie season, McGehee was somewhat overlooked in fantasy drafts. He went 2-for-3 with a HR and three RBI. He’s up to .571 on the year.

Jon Rauch, Minnesota Twins

Rauch made it look easy in his first save of the year. He struck out two in a 1-2-3 ninth. Eleven of his 16 pitches went for strikes.

Mark Ellis, Oakland A’s

Ellis went 3-for-5 with an RBI to raise his average to .429.

Dallas Braden, Oakland A’s

Braden tossed a gem, giving up one run on four hits with 10 Ks for a no-decision. He was 8-9 last year with a solid 3.89 ERA. He’s never been a big strikeout pitcher, so don’t get overly excited.

Ian Snell, Seattle Mariners

Snell also got a no-decision despite giving up just one run on three hits in six innings. He posted a decent 4.20 ERA in 12 starts with the M’s last year.

Chase Headley, San Diego Padres

Headley went 2-for-5 with two runs and a SB. He’s hitting .444 on the year.

Everth Cabrera, San Diego Padres

The speedy SS went 3-for-4 with a double, a triple, four RBI, and a SB. He’s also hitting .429 on the year.

Chris Young, San Diego Padres

Young went six scoreless innings for the victory. He gave up just one hit and struck out five. He did walk three, but his WHIP remained solid (0.67)
