Edwin Diaz locks down two-inning save on Thursday against Braves
by Dan Harris | Mets Correspondent | Thu, Aug 4th 11:01pm EDT
Edwin Diaz allowed one hit and struck out three over two scoreless innings on Thursday against the Braves to earn his 24th save.
Fantasy Impact:
Diaz had never recorded a six-out save before Thursday, but did so with relative ease. As usual, he leaned into his slider heavily, throwing it 61% of the time, though he induced swings on just eight of his 17 sliders. With 28 pitches and a doubleheader scheduled for Saturday, Diaz will likely be unavailable on Friday, so expect Seth Lugo to factor in for any save opportunity.
