Evan Phillips tossed a perfect inning to notch a save in the Dodgers' 8-6 win over the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact

In his appearance, Phillips threw 10 pitches, allowing no hits, walks, or runs, and did not record a strikeout. This performance solidifies his role as a reliable closer for the Dodgers, especially given his season stats which boast a 3.22 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (11.1 K/9) and a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.58) continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories of saves and WHIP. Phillips's consistency, highlighted by his 18th save, should keep him as a top option in the closing role, despite the lack of strikeouts in this outing.

This outing was a textbook display of Phillips's ability to dominate late in games, as he efficiently used just 15 pitches to dispatch the opposition.

Phillips's consistent strikeout ability and control, evidenced by his 4.58 strikeout-to-walk ratio, should keep him relevant even with the presence of Michael Kopech.
