Ryan Fernandez Seals a Shaky Save Against Orioles
by Jesse Garcia | Cardinals Correspondent | Wed, May 22nd 7:02pm EDT
Ryan Fernandez allowed one earned run on two hits in a tense inning, securing his first save of the season as the Cardinals edged out the Orioles 5-4.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the rocky outing, Fernandez managed to close the game without walking any batters, which is a silver lining on an otherwise mediocre performance. This appearance marked his first save of the year, a notable milestone given his prior role primarily in setup situations. His season-long metrics, including a 3.48 ERA and an impressive 10.45 K/9, suggest potential for more high-leverage opportunities. However, his susceptibility to hits this game raises some concerns about his consistency in save situations. Fantasy managers should monitor Fernandez's role closely but temper expectations given his limited track record in closing games.
