Pete Fairbanks Nails Down Save No. 7 On Saturday
Pete Fairbanks closed the door on the Yankees in a 3-2 victory on Saturday, dispatching New York on three consecutive grounders in the ninth inning to pick up his seventh save of the season. The righty has been good this season, logging a save in four straight appearances now with zero blown saves to this point, posting a 2.19 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. However, the strikeout rate is the lowest of his career, and the walk rate the highest, leading to a paltry 8.0 percent K-BB%, not something you see from your prototypical closer. Still, collecting saves while not crushing your fantasy team's ERA is what managers are looking for, so as the team's unquestioned closer, he remains one of the preferred options for saves in fantasy.
