Edwin Diaz pitched a perfect one-two-three ninth inning to collect his 22nd save of the season Friday night in Seattle's 5-2 win over Kansas City. He struck out Melky Cabrera, and induced two ground-outs to Eric Hosmer and Drew Butera to close out the game.
Fantasy implications: The 23-year-old right-handed flamethrower has returned to his electric 2016 form since the All-Star break. In his 11 games since then, he has compiled a sparkling 1.64 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, 13.9 K/9, and 3.3 BB/9 without surrendering any home runs. In addition, Diaz has collected nine saves and blown only one in that span. He remains valuable in all fantasy formats.
