Hader Shuts Down Rangers, Secures Save in Astros' Win
by Jesse Garcia | Astros Correspondent | Wed, Aug 7th 10:12pm EDT
Josh Hader delivered a pristine performance, tossing a hitless inning to notch a save as the Astros edged out the Rangers 6-4 on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact:
He threw 11 pitches, striking out one without allowing any walks or runs. This outing underscores Hader's role as a reliable closer for Houston, especially given his impressive season stats including a 3.75 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (13.8 K/9) and manage tight situations with a solid 4.28 strikeout-to-walk ratio continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. Despite a slightly elevated ERA, his performance in high-leverage moments, like this game, should keep him firmly in the role of closer, where he's likely to rack up more saves if he maintains this form.
