Cole Henry Picks up First Save
Washington Nationals relief pitcher Cole Henry earned the first save of his career in a 3-2 win over the Phillies on Thursday. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and striking out one. The closing job opened up with Kyle Finnegan being dealt at the trade deadline, and Henry was rumored to be in the mix for saves. The 26-year-old has pitched decently well this season, posting a 3.65 ERA with 44 strikeouts in 44 ⅓ innings. While he shouldn't be expected to handle the full responsibility of the ninth-inning duties, he certainly has the most upside. His main competition is Jose Ferrer, who has an ERA north of 4.50.
