Edwin Diaz earns save
by Robert Finkelstein | Mets Correspondent | Sun, Oct 1st 3:39pm EDT
Edwin Diaz hurled a perfect 1 1/3 innings to pick up his 34th save in Seattle's 6-4 win over the Angels on Saturday. He also struck out two.
Fantasy Impact:
Diaz was summoned in the eighth inning with the bases loaded and two outs, and was able to get Mike Trout out on an infield fly to second base. He then pitched a clean ninth inning to earn the save. The 23-year-old right-hander rebounded nicely following Friday night's blown save, his first since July 22. Diaz has an elite 97 mph that has translated into a superb 12.1 K/9 for the year. If he is able to correct his occasional bouts of wildness (4.4 BB/9), Diaz will be among the company of premier closers for the 2018 campaign.
