Taylor Williams Gets Thirds Save Sunday
4 years agoSeattle Mariners relief pitcher Taylor Williams pitched 1 1/3 shut out innings allowing one hit and struck out three batters in his third save on Sunday. The Mariners have been alternating between Williams and Dan Altavilla for save opportunities since Yoshihisa Hirano has been out due to COVID-19. Altavilla imploded on Sunday giving up three runs in 2/3 of an inning which prompted the Mariners to bring Williams in to finish the 8th and close out the game. Though it seems like Williams is likely the first option for saves in Seattle at the moment, Hirano is in Peoria, Arizona getting ready to come back to the Mariners and retake that closer role. For now, Williams is a low-end and risky option for saves.
