Wandy Peralta Earns Third Save Of Season Tuesday
2 years agoNew York Yankees relief pitcher Wandy Peralta picked up his third save of the season in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays. Peralta entered to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by three. He got the first out on a groundout, allowed a walk, had another runner reach on an error, and ended the game with a double play. The veteran has now earned saves in each of his last three appearances and has pitched well with a 1.65 ERA and a 9.37 K/9 rate, although walks have been an issue at a 5.51 BB/9 rate. It appears that Clay Holmes is out of the saves equation now, as he pitched the eighth inning of this game. Michael King has also seen save opportunities lately, earning the save in Monday's game. At this point, both Peralta and King are worth rostering in roto leagues.
