Aroldis Chapman Allows Run, Picks Up Fifth Save
Aroldis Chapman held on for his fifth save on Wednesday, keeping the Texas Rangers at bay in a 6-4 win. Chapman was a little shaky in this one, allowing a homer and a walk in his inning of work. Fortunately, he had a three-run lead to work with and was able to hold on. The lefty has looked rejuvenated this season, going 5-for-5 in save opportunities with a stellar 2.19 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 18 strikeouts in 12 ⅓ IP. He is clearly Boston's best reliever and should get the bulk of the save opportunities, although they have shown a tendency to use him in non-save situations when multiple lefties are coming up to hit. Still, Chapman remains the favorite for saves in Beantown.
