Robert Suarez Clings to Save Despite Rocky Inning
by Matthew Adam | Padres Correspondent | Tue, Aug 13th 6:28am EDT
Robert Suarez managed to secure the save in a narrow 2-1 victory for the Padres over the Pirates, despite allowing two hits and one earned run.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, while effective in preserving the win, showcased some vulnerability as Suarez failed to record a strikeout and navigated through some risky waters. Given his season-long stats, including a stellar 1.71 ERA and 0.89 WHIP, this outing might seem like a minor blip. However, his inability to strike out batters in this appearance could be a slight concern for fantasy managers relying on him for dominant late-game performances. Still, with 26 saves under his belt this season, Suarez remains a top-tier option in leagues valuing saves, though his strikeout numbers might not always support his otherwise excellent ratios.
