Yoshihisa Hirano escapes on Wednesday for save

Yoshihisa Hirano picked up the save on Wednesday when he allowed two runs on three hits while striking out one and walking one in the Mariners 3-2 win over the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

Hirano battled some adversity en route to picking up his fourth save of the year. He entered to protect a 3-0 lead and promptly walked Kyle Tucker to start things off. He then recorded two straight outs before giving up a double and back-to-back singles. He whiffed Jose Altuve to end drama and secure the win. Hirano has been pretty shaky as the Mariners closer but he's a perfect 4-for-4 in save chances to go along with a 3.75 ERA and 1.75 WHIP. The win kept the M's slim playoff hopes alive.
