Felix Bautista continued his impressive season on Friday, pitching a perfect inning of relief in the Orioles' 6-3 victory over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
Bautista needed just 13 pitches to strike out three batters and earn his ninth save of the year. The hard-throwing right-hander has been a reliable option out of the bullpen for Baltimore this season, posting a 1.50 ERA and a staggering 16.5 K/9 rate over 18 appearances. With his latest performance, Bautista has solidified his role as the Orioles' closer and should continue to be a valuable fantasy asset moving forward.
