Fantasy Impact

Webb allowed a leadoff single to Ivan Herrera but retired the next three batters to secure the save. He has now gone 21 straight appearances without allowing a run and continues to make a strong case to remain the Chicago Cubs’ closer once Daniel Palencia (elbow) returns from the injured list. He owns a 2.33 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 61 strikeouts across 54 innings on the year.

Jacob Webb pitched two scoreless innings on Friday to earn his first save of the season as the Cubs defeated the Diamondbacks, 6-5.

Fantasy Impact

Webb allowed only a walk while striking out three as he preserved a one-run lead for his first save since May 12 of last season as a member of the Rangers. Webb has a 4.26 ERA and has allowed 23 baserunners in 12.2 innings. He has never collected more than two saves in a season during his seven-year career, so this shouldn't be a trend moving forward.
