Jeff Hoffman Collects 27th Save
Jeff Hoffman threw a scoreless ninth inning on Thursday to lock up a 2-1 win over the Chicago Cubs and record his 27th save of the season. Hoffman allowed a one-out single to Nico Hoerner, but he struck out the other three hitters he faced (Owen Caissie, Willi Castro, and Dansby Swanson) in a 12-pitch frame. The right-hander threw 10 strikes and has now gone back-to-back appearances without walking a hitter. That's reassuring for the Blue Jays and fantasy managers after Hoffman issued a stunning five free passes over two-thirds of an inning in a 5-4 defeat of the Los Angeles Dodgers last Sunday. Aside from that outing, Hoffman has demonstrated good control all season. The 32-year-old now has a 4.32 ERA with a 1.10 WHIP, 69 strikeouts, and 16 walks over 50 innings.
