Edwin Diaz shuts down Marlins for tight save
by Chris Schommer | Mets Correspondent | Sun, Jul 21st 9:21am EDT
Edwin Diaz delivered a pristine inning, securing a save as the Mets edged out the Marlins 1-0.
Fantasy Impact:
Diaz tossed 12 pitches, allowing no hits or walks and striking out one. This performance not only added a save to his tally but also likely provided a slight relief to fantasy managers concerned about his somewhat elevated 3.90 ERA and five blown saves this season. His strong strikeout rate (12.4 K/9) continues to be a redeeming feature, and today's outing should help in lowering his ERA and WHIP, reinforcing his role as a high-strikeout closer. However, the lingering inconsistency marked by his blown saves could still be a point of caution for those relying on him in critical matchups.
