Hector Neris seals the deal in crosstown classic
by Chris Schommer | Astros Correspondent | Sun, Aug 11th 9:58am EDT
Hector Neris delivered a flawless performance, securing a save as the Cubs edged out the White Sox 3-1.
Fantasy Impact:
He threw 14 pitches over a clean inning, allowing no hits or walks while striking out two. This outing was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat erratic season for Neris, characterized by a higher-than-desirable WHIP of 1.45 and a modest strikeout-to-walk ratio. Despite these struggles, his save tonight, bringing his season total to 17, shows he can still be trusted in clutch situations. Fantasy managers should continue to view Neris as a viable, albeit slightly risky, closing option, especially in leagues where saves are a premium.
