Pierce Johnson earns save Saturday versus Mets

by Diego Sandoval | Braves Correspondent | Sat, May 6th 7:32pm EDT

Pierce Johnson grabbed the save after allowing one hit and striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning of Saturday's 5-2 win over the Mets.

Fantasy Impact:

Johnson's scoreless ninth earned him his fifth save of the young season as he has fully taken over the Colorado closer role. The 32-year-old hasn't been the most consistent, evident by his 4.73 ERA, but the team continues to turn to him in save situations. He should continue to see opportunities, but tread carefully for fantasy purposes.
