Griffin Jax Seals the Deal in Twins' Shutout Victory
by Matthew Adam | Rays Correspondent | Tue, Aug 6th 6:40am EDT
Griffin Jax secured his eighth save of the season, allowing one hit and striking out one in a scoreless inning as the Twins blanked the Cubs 3-0 on Monday.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance underscores Jax's role as a reliable closer for Minnesota, especially given his impressive season stats including a 2.01 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (11.9 K/9) and a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio (5.42) continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories of saves and strikeouts. Despite a few hiccups with blown saves earlier in the season, Jax's overall consistency and effectiveness should keep him in the role of closer, bolstering his fantasy relevance as a late-inning security option.
