Felipe Vázquez Strikes Out Side for 20th Save Wednesday
6 years agoPittsburgh Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez struck out three batters in the ninth inning Wednesday to secure his 20th save of the season. Vazquez now has 55 strikeouts in just 39 1/3 innings pitched, and a 31 percent strikeout rate. He has walked 17 hitters. The Bucs will have a four game series with the Milwaukee Brewers before the All-Star break. Vazquez is an elite closer, but he often lacks the opportunity to make the save.
