Anthony Swarzak Picks Up Third Save
6 years agoAfter the Seattle Mariners called upon Roenis Elias to close out their last two contests, they went back to Anthony Swarzak to finish off the Angels on Saturday night. He entered the game with a two-run lead, but Albert Pujols tagged him for a solo shot to get within a run before Swarzak struck out Justin Bour to end the game. It was only the second earned run given up by Swarzak on the season, but they have now come in back-to-back outings for the right-hander. It remains an unpredictable situation who manager Scott Servais intends to use in the ninth inning making it challenging to own Swarzak or Elias. Unless you're in a deep league where relievers are scarce, these two arms can be left on the waiver wire until we hopefully see some more clarity on the situation. This job may end up being a straight-up platoon until Hunter Strickland returns from the IL in the next couple of months.
