Scott Barlow Picks Up Fifth Save
3 years agoKansas City Royals reliever Scott Barlow worked a pair of scoreless innings to close out the team's 3-2 victory over the Twins on Thursday night. He entered the eighth inning with the bases already loaded and quickly recorded two strikeouts and a groundout to get out of the frame unscathed before coming out again in the ninth. Barlow then served up two singles of his own, but ultimately got Gio Urshela to ground into a force out to end the game with the tying run stranded at third base. The right-hander now has five saves on the campaign to go along with a sharp 1.71 ERA and 1.05 WHIP through 21 IP, making him a solid fantasy arm despite the low save total.
