Diamondbacks' Zack Greinke: Claims first win of season

Greinke (1-0) limited the Indians to one run on five hits and no walks while striking out six batters in Saturday's 11-2 victory.

Analysis:

Greinke's line would be splendid against any team, but the fact that he turned in such a dominant showing against the reigning American League champs should make fantasy owners even more confident that his spring struggles weren't a true picture of his talents. Through his first two starts of the season, his velocity hasn't dipped much from previous years, and he's shown impressive control with just two walks over 11.2 innings. He'll have another tough test awaiting him Friday against the Dodgers on the road, but he's pitched well enough to deserve a spot in most fantasy lineups for the upcoming week.
