Daniel Bard Earns Multi-Inning Win Tuesday
3 years agoColorado Rockies closer Daniel Bard picked up his second win of the season in Tuesday's 2-1 extra-innings win over the Pirates. Bard entered the game to pitch the ninth inning with the game tied 1-1. He pitched a scoreless inning with a single, a walk, and a strikeout. The Rockies were able to score a run in the top of the 10th, and Bard stayed in to pitch the bottom half of the inning. He shut the door, pitching a 1-2-3 inning with two more strikeouts. The veteran has now turned in two consecutive scoreless outings after allowing runs in his three previous outings and has 10 saves to go with a 3.31 ERA on the season. He should remain a viable fantasy option as long as he continues to pitch well and the Rockies continue to play well and frequently put themselves in save situations.
