Felix Bautista Earns Four-Out Save Monday
2 years agoBaltimore Orioles relief pitcher Felix Bautista picked up his fifth save of the season in Monday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jays. Bautista came into the game up by two with two outs in the eighth inning and runners on first and second. He got a groundout to end the inning and stayed on to pitch the ninth inning. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. reached first on an error and Alejandro Kirk singled, but Bautista then struck out Teoscar Hernandez and got Bo Bichette to ground into a double play to end the game. The big flamethrower has pitched very well overall this season and seems to be the favorite to take up the closing duties for the O's with Jorge Lopez traded. He now has a 1.72 ERA with a 12.06 K/9 rate. Bautista is worth a look in most fantasy leagues at this time given his strong performance and how well the O's have played.
