Kevin Ginkel Ekes Out Save No. 2
3 weeks agoArizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Kevin Ginkel walked a tightrope on the way to tallying his second save in as many days, fanning two hitters in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the division-rival Colorado Rockies. Ginkel got Charlie Blackmon and Kris Bryant to strike out but allowed a single and two walks to fall into a hairy situation on Wednesday. Nolan Jones flied out to get Ginkel out of the bases-loaded jam, but the 30-year-old right-hander needed 29 pitches to lock it down. Filling in for injured closer Paul Sewald (oblique), Ginkel is posting a solid 2.84 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with nine punchouts over 6 1/3 frames as Arizona's interim favorite for saves. With Sewald still likely a few weeks away from returning to the D-backs' bullpen, Ginkel should be rostered in the majority of fantasy leagues for the time being.
