Evan Phillips Seals the Deal in Dodgers' Shutout
by Matthew Adam | Dodgers Correspondent | Tue, Aug 20th 5:44am EDT
Evan Phillips delivered a flawless inning, securing his 16th save of the season in the Dodgers' 3-0 victory over the Mariners on Monday.
Fantasy Impact:
He threw 13 pitches, allowed no hits or walks, and struck out one batter. This performance underscores his role as a reliable closer for the Dodgers, especially given his solid season stats, including a 3.40 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (10.7 K/9) and a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.92) continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories that reward saves and strikeouts. Phillips's consistency in save situations, highlighted by only two blown saves this season, should keep him firmly in the role of closer as the season progresses.
