Daniel Bard Earns Fifth Save Of Season Tuesday
3 years agoColorado Rockies closer Daniel Bard picked up another save in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Phillies. Bard came in to pitch the ninth inning up by a run and shut the door, recording a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout. The 36-year-old got the night off in Monday's save situation in favor of teammate Alex Colome, but Bard has now amassed five saves already to go with a 3.00 ERA, seven strikeouts, and no walks over six innings pitched. The Rockies have gotten off to a surprisingly strong start and have had plenty of save opportunities, which makes Bard an attractive fantasy option. He is currently rostered in 70 percent of leagues, meaning he is still out there for some fantasy managers to scoop up.
