Taylor Williams Notches Sixth Save Sunday
4 years agoSeattle Mariners relief pitcher Taylor Williams pitched a scoreless inning and secured his sixth save in Sunday's win over the Rangers. Williams now has three saves in his last three appearances for the Mariners and looks locked in as the temporary closer. Yoshihisa Hirano made his 2020 debut on Saturday and will more than likely regain the closer role by the end of the year, but the timetable for that is unknown. Given how short the 2020 season is, the Mariners may be patient with Hirano and let Williams be the closer until he gives them a reason not to. For now, Williams should be owned in most leagues that reward saves, but don't get too attached.
