Kyle Finnegan Rebounds With Second Save
4 weeks agoWashington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan tossed a clean ninth inning with two strikeouts to grab his second save of the year and safeguard Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. After getting tagged for back-to-back homers and blowing a save in Sunday's loss to the Cincinnati Reds, Finnegan put up a very encouraging display on Wednesday. Henry Davis reached on rookie Trey Lipscomb's throwing error, but it was an otherwise fine showing by the 32-year-old right-hander. While he remains the favorite for saves out of Washington's deep bullpen, Finnegan will want to improve on his unsightly 10.13 ERA sooner rather than later. Hunter Harvey has been more effective during the very early stages of the campaign, so he remains worth holding in all mixed fantasy leagues until this situation is fully settled.
