David Bednar clutches save, Pirates down Mariners 5-3
by Chris Schommer | Pirates Correspondent | Sat, Aug 17th 8:34am EDT
David Bednar secured his 21st save despite allowing an earned run against the Mariners on Friday.
Fantasy Impact:
He delivered 26 pitches over one inning, surrendering two hits and striking out three. Despite the hiccup of an earned run, Bednar's ability to close out games remains intact, though his season-long ERA of 5.83 and WHIP of 1.37 raise concerns. His strikeout rate continues to be a bright spot, but fantasy managers should remain wary of his inconsistency. Moving forward, Bednar remains a volatile option for saves, suitable for those willing to risk the potential for high ERA and WHIP in exchange for strikeout numbers and save opportunities.
