Kyle Finnegan seals the deal, Nationals top Marlins 4-1
by Chris Schommer | Nationals Correspondent | Sat, Sep 14th 8:56am EDT
Kyle Finnegan secured his 37th save of the season in a tidy performance against the Marlins, allowing just one hit in a scoreless inning as the Nationals claimed a 4-1 victory.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not recording any strikeouts, Finnegan effectively managed contact to preserve the win. His season ERA now sits at 3.36, with a WHIP of 1.27, maintaining his role as a reliable closer for fantasy teams. However, his lower strikeout rate (8.5 K/9) and higher FIP (4.36) suggest some caution; he isn't overpowering hitters, and his success is somewhat dependent on solid defense and favorable ball-in-play outcomes. Fantasy managers should continue to deploy him as a save source but be wary of potential rough patches if his strikeout rate doesn't improve.
