Houston Astros right-hander Hunter Brown has had a fantastic 2025 season, but it just wasn't his day in Wednesday's 8-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. Brown wasn't missed many bats and ended up allowing five earned runs on seven hits (three homers) while walking two and striking out four in five innings of work for his third loss of the year. It was the first time all year that the 26-year-old allowed more than three runs in a start, and the poor showing only raised his season ERA to 2.04. Brown also allowed more home runs on Wednesday than he had in any of his previous nine starts this year. Curtis Mead, Josh Lowe and Brandon Lowe were the ones to take him deep on Wednesday, with the two Lowes going for back-to-back jobs in the fifth frame. Fantasy managers shouldn't get too discouraged and should leave Brown in their starting lineups for a solid matchup next week against the Athletics.

Still, the six wins tie him for most in the majors, and the righty's seven other quality starts lead all pitchers. The 26-year-old now boasts a 1.48 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, and a 24.3 percent K-BB%, making him fantasy's second-highest scoring pitcher, only behind Max Fried. The 6-foot-2 hurler will take on the Royals at home in his next start, a team that has been surging of late, but Brown faced them once already earlier this season and allowed one earned run while striking out nine batters, so you should keep penciling him into your season-long lineups.
