Josh Hader Strikes Out Two in Perfect Inning to Secure Save
by Nate Miller | Astros Correspondent | Thu, Jul 20th 11:03am EDT
Josh Hader continued his dominant season on Wednesday, tossing a flawless inning of relief to earn his 23rd save of the year in the Padres' 2-0 win over the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact:
Hader needed just 16 pitches to retire the side in order, striking out two batters and not allowing a hit or a walk. With this performance, Hader now boasts an impressive 1.00 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP in 38 appearances this season, along with a stellar 13.5 K/9 rate and a 2.84 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The left-hander's ability to consistently shut down opposing hitters has been a key factor in the Padres' success, and he remains a reliable option at the back end of their bullpen.
