Edwin Diaz Finally Picks Up His 29th Save
After blowing his last two save opportunities, New York Mets relief pitcher Edwin Diaz finally converted his 29th save of the season on Sunday in the Mets 7-6 win over the Yankees. Called on the preserve a one-run lead in the ninth inning, Diaz got the job done despite allowing two baserunners on a hit and walk. He struck out two in his one inning of work as well. Diaz now has 29 saves in 35 save opportunities (six blown saves) to go with a 3.81 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and an 82:23 K:BB ratio over 56 2/3 innings pitched on the season. He remains a top-tier fantasy reliever based on his firm grasp on the closer role in New York and high strikeout totals, notwithstanding his occasional epic meltdowns and stress-inducing saves. Clearly a better closer in fantasy than real life, Diaz should remain active in all fantasy formats through the final 18 games of the regular season.
