Pete Fairbanks seals the deal, Rays edge Nationals 3-1
by Chris Schommer | Rays Correspondent | Sat, Jun 29th 8:27am EDT
Pete Fairbanks secured his 13th save of the season, navigating a scoreless frame despite allowing a walk in the Rays' 3-1 victory over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact:
While he didn't record any strikeouts, Fairbanks effectively kept the Nationals at bay, maintaining his solid ERA and WHIP. His consistent performance this season, marked by a 3.14 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP, continues to make him a reliable option for saves in fantasy leagues. However, his lower strikeout count in this outing might be a slight concern for fantasy managers relying on him for those stats. Nonetheless, Fairbanks's ability to close games without surrendering runs should keep him firmly in the role of closer, where save opportunities are more valuable than strikeouts.
