Alexis Diaz notches fifth save Sunday
by Scott Youngson | Reds Correspondent | Sun, Aug 14th 6:02pm EDT
Alexis Diaz got the final five outs in Sunday's 8-5 victory over the Cubs. He entered in the eighth after Hunter Strickland loaded the bases with one out and struck out the first two batters he faced to end the threat.
Fantasy Impact:
Diaz looked slated for the ninth, but Strickland's woes continued and forced him into the game early. David Bell may have no choice but to use Diaz in the ninth more the rest of the season as he's the only reliable reliever in the Reds' bullpen right now. The rookie has been impressive this year, sporting a 1.83 ERA and 0.95 WHIP. If you need bullpen help, he's worth taking a chance on.
