Fantasy Impact

It wasn't a clean save for Pagan, as he allowed a pair of singles to put two men on with two out, but he got Lawrence Butler to strikeout swinging to end the game. Pagan has been fantastic since returning from injury July 1, allowing just two earned runs over his last 11 outings and none over his last seven trips to the mound. He has improved his ERA to 4.44 on the season while going 12 for 15 in save opportunities this season.

Reds closer Emilio Pagan pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn the win over the Pirates on Friday.

Fantasy Impact

You'll have to dive into the MLB rulebook for this one, but Pagan was awarded a win, and not a save, after a clean ninth inning to nail down an 8-7 win over the Pirates on Friday. Pagan was awarded a win due to the fact that Pierce Johnson, who blew a lead in the eighth inning, and was deemed ineffective. A pitcher cannot earn a save and a win, so Pagan was awarded the W in this one. The right-hander has been excellent since returning from an injury on July 1, allowing just two earned runs with 15 strikeouts against just two walks (both in the same outing) across 9 1/3 innings of work.
