Carl Edwards Jr. Records Rare Save
1 year agoWashington Nationals relief pitcher Carl Edwards Jr. picked up his second save of the year in a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros. After Kyle Finnegan pitched the eighth and Hunter Harvey blew a save in the ninth, the Nats went to their next option in Edwards Jr. in the tenth. He got the job done, striking out one in a clean inning of work. The 31-year-old has been decent this year, posting a 3.03 ERA and 1.38 WHIP with 22 strikeouts in 10 ⅓ IP, but he will likely remain the Nationals' third option for saves unless one of Finnegan or Harvey tailspin. He can be left to deep saves plus holds leagues for now.
