Alexis Diaz Earns 10th Save Of Season Monday
2 years agoCincinnati Reds relief pitcher Alexis Diaz managed to pick up his 10th save of the season in Monday's 3-1 win over the Cubs. He entered to pitch the ninth inning up by three. He allowed back-to-back walks, got the first out on a line-out with the lead runner advancing to third, and then ended the game on an unorthodox 4-6-3 double play where the runner on third scored. The 26-year-old hasn't been perfect but has shown signs of being a potential closer option for the Reds in 2023, converting 10 of 14 save opportunities with a 1.88 ERA, 11.70 K/9 rate, and 4.76 BB/9 rate in 62 1/3 innings pitched this season.
