Hector Neris Protects 4-0 Win Saturday
3 years agoHouston Astros reliever Hector Neris recorded the final three outs during the club's 4-0 win over the Mariners Saturday night. It was a non-save situation for the right-hander, but it might be a telling sign that manager Dusty Baker went to him in a relatively close game versus a division rival after Ryan Pressly landed on the IL earlier today. Neris has five scoreless appearances so far to his credit with his new club in 2022, and has 84 career saves under his belt to make him the most experienced ninth-inning reliever in the bullpen. The 32-year-old veteran should be scooped up in all formats that count saves since the Astros will provide him with opportunities as long as Pressly is shelved.
