Gregory Soto locks down fifth save of season Sunday
by David Leisering | Pirates Correspondent | Mon, May 25th 1:17am EDT
Gregory Soto tossed a scoreless ninth to pick up his fifth save of the season as the Pirates defeated the Blue Jays, 4-1, on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact:
Soto pitched around a walk and a hit batter in the ninth, retiring George Springer on an infield pop-up and then striking out Daulton Varsho who both represented the potential tying run. Soto is now 5-for-7 in save chances and, with Dennis Santana struggling as of late, Soto appears to be running away with the closer's role in Pittsburgh. He is 3-0 with a 30:10 K:BB ratio, and a 2.22 ERA in 24 appearances this season.
