A.J. Minter Collects Seventh Save
2 years agoAtlanta Braves relief pitcher A.J. Minter picked up his seventh save of the season on Thursday, closing out the Miami Marlins in a 6-3 win. The lefty worked around a two-out single and struck out two in his inning of work. Minter has been pretty awful in the closer role early in the season, posting a disastrous 7.47 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over 15 ⅔ IP. Fortunately for the Braves, Raisel Iglesias is expected back this weekend, and he should quickly retake the closer job. Minter is droppable as soon as Iglesias starts closing out games.
