Wily Peralta Records Fifth Save
6 years agoKansas City Royals relief pitcher Wily Peralta was on point again as he nailed down his fifth save of the season on Tuesday night. Peralta wasn't perfect as a triple to Nick Catellanos led to a run, but when the rest of the bullpen around him struggles so much, he still comes out looking great. It seems logical that KC would be willing to trade Peralta if someone came knocking, but the fact that he's only pitched in 13 games will likely limit any interest in him. Instead, it looks like he'll get to be the closer on a bad team for a while. His high walk rate doesn't bode well, but if he's getting saves, owners can usually look the other way about his warts.
