Marc Rzepczynski records save
by Robert Finkelstein | Thu, Aug 17th 1:18am EDT
Marc Rzepczynski struck out Chris Davis with the bases loaded and two outs in the ninth inning to record his first save of the year in Seattle's nail-biting 7-6 win over the Orioles Wednesday afternoon. Davis was the only batter Rzepczynski faced.
Fantasy Impact:
Rzepczynski was summoned to close out the game after Edwin Diaz almost failed to protect a three-run lead in the ninth. With the bases loaded and two outs, the veteran left-handed specialist quickly fanned Davis on three straight pitches to preserve Seattle's one run victory. Rzepczynski has been an invaluable member of the Mariners' bullpen this season. He has not allowed a run in his last nine appearances. For the year, his record is 2-0 with a 2.94 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 14 holds. Monday's save was Rzepzcynski's second save of his career, the first coming in 2014 as a member of the Indians. He should be considered in AL-only and deep leagues that count holds.
