Fantasy Impact
Bard was given the big task of holding San Diego in the ninth and tenth innings on Friday, and he delivered. The 37-year-old has not allowed an earned run in any of his last 10 starts, which includes the entire month of September. In this dominant stretch, the Colorado closer has lowered his ERA to 1.88 and his WHIP currently sits at 0.99 this year.
