Edwin Diaz picks up save on Tuesday night

Diaz notched his 21st save of the season in Seattle's 8-7 win over the Rangers Tuesday night, pitching a clean ninth inning and recording two strikeouts.

Fantasy implications: The 23-year-old flame-thrower fired nine of 14 pitches for strikes, while retiring the side in order. Diaz, who had a strong July overall, now sports a 3.15 ERA and a fine 1.16 WHIP, so the closer role should remain his going forward. He has electric stuff as evidenced by his 12.61 K/9 on the season.
