Juan Morillo Earns First Big-League Save Tuesday
Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Juan Morillo earned the first save of his big-league career in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Rangers. Morillo came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by one and turned in a 1-2-3 performance with no strikeouts. The Diamondbacks' bullpen was plagued by injuries earlier in the season, and the team is now in fourth place in the National League West. Four different pitchers have seen save opportunities in the last seven days, including the 26-year-old. Morillo has a lackluster 4.76 ERA, a 1.66 WHIP, and an 8.89 K/9 rate in 28 1/3 innings of work. At this point, it seems like a true dart throw as to who may get the next save opportunity for the team, limiting the potential to find fantasy value.
