Jhoan Duran Escapes Jam Vs. Royals To Secure Save No. 7
3 months agoMinnesota Twins closer Jhoan Duran locked down his seventh save of the season on Monday, but things were far from pretty. Duran entered the ninth with a four-run lead, two outs, and runners on second and third. Duran kept the suspense high, allowing three runs to score after hitting a batter, two hits, and a fielding error, but ultimately remained in control, getting Bobby Witt Jr. to ground out to end the game. With a save in each of his last four appearances dating back to May 22, Duran's hold on the closer spot looks firm for the playoff-hopeful Twins.
