David Bednar shuts down Mariners for save
by Chris Schommer | Pirates Correspondent | Sun, Aug 18th 7:07am EDT
David Bednar delivered a flawless performance, striking out two and securing a save in the Pirates' 7-2 victory over the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact:
His efficient outing, requiring just nine pitches to complete an inning, added another save to his tally, bringing his season total to 22. Despite a rocky season with a 5.70 ERA and a WHIP of 1.34, performances like this highlight his potential as a reliable closer when he's on his game. Fantasy managers should note, however, that his high ERA and WHIP indicate a risk of inconsistency, which could be concerning in critical matchups. His strikeout ability remains a redeeming feature, suggesting he could still be a valuable asset in leagues that heavily reward saves and strikeouts.
