Yoshihisa Hirano picked up the save on Wednesday when he allowed two runs on three hits while striking out one and walking one in the Mariners 3-2 win over the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
Hirano battled some adversity en route to picking up his fourth save of the year. He entered to protect a 3-0 lead and promptly walked Kyle Tucker to start things off. He then recorded two straight outs before giving up a double and back-to-back singles. He whiffed Jose Altuve to end drama and secure the win. Hirano has been pretty shaky as the Mariners closer but he's a perfect 4-for-4 in save chances to go along with a 3.75 ERA and 1.75 WHIP. The win kept the M's slim playoff hopes alive.
