Andres Munoz delivered a flawless outing, striking out two in a clean inning to notch the save in the Mariners' 5-2 victory over the Padres.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance underscores Munoz's role as a reliable closer for Seattle, further solidifying his fantasy relevance. With a season ERA now improved to 2.18 and a WHIP standing strong at 0.97, his ability to suppress hits and walks enhances his appeal in fantasy leagues. His impressive strikeout rate of 11.7 K/9 remains a critical asset for fantasy managers needing strikeouts and quality innings from a reliever. Despite a few hiccups with five blown saves this season, his 20 saves highlight his capability and trust in high-leverage situations. Munoz continues to be a valuable asset for fantasy teams, especially in formats that reward saves and strikeouts.
