Hunter Harvey Blows Thursday's Save
1 year agoWashington Nationals right-hander Hunter Harvey was given the ninth inning in Thursday's contest with the San Diego Padres, trying to protect a 6-5 lead. However, the 28-year-old failed to close out the game, allowing three runs on three hits while striking out a pair, blowing his fourth save of the season. Harvey's been in the mix for save situations and has earned two saves over 23.1 innings while posting a 3.86 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and 31.1% strikeout rate. Presumed closer Kyle Finnegan was tasked with the eighth inning Thursday and threw a clean frame, bringing his ERA to 4.50. Fantasy managers should stay updated on this situation to see if Finnegan continues to earn most of the ninth-inning opportunities.
