Fantasy Impact
Seymour was tasked with facing the top of the Orioles lineup on Wednesday and needed just nine pitches to record a lineout and two groundouts in a clean ninth inning. Bryan Baker, Tampa Bay’s regular closer, received the day off after pitching in three of the team’s previous four games. Seymour now owns a 4.81 ERA and 1.19 WHIP across 24.1 innings this season.
Ian Seymour fired a perfect ninth inning in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays to earn the first save of his career.
Fantasy Impact
Seymour struck out Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to begin the inning before getting Daulton Varsho and Ernie Clement to line out.
