Kirby Yates Seals the Deal in Tight Rangers Victory
by Jesse Garcia | Rangers Correspondent | Wed, Aug 14th 10:50pm EDT
Kirby Yates delivered a flawless inning, securing his 21st save of the season as the Rangers edged out the Red Sox 9-7.
Fantasy Impact:
He threw nine pitches, allowed no hits or walks, and struck out one batter. This performance underscores Yates's role as a reliable closer for Texas, maintaining an impressive 1.02 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP through 43 appearances. His consistent ability to shut down opponents, evidenced by a 12.8 K/9 rate and no blown saves this season, continues to make him a top-tier fantasy option. Yates's low .209 BABIP suggests some luck, but his skills are the primary driver of his success. Fantasy managers should keep relying on him as a steady source of saves and strikeouts.
