Slams door for save No. 21 Baker threw a clean ninth inning for the save Saturday against the Diamondbacks.

Baker hasn't been charged with a run in 11 straight appearances, delivering a 0.64 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB in 11 innings over that stingy stretch to lower his ERA on the campaign to 1.84.

Collects 18th save Baker earned the save in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox after tossing a perfect ninth inning.

Impact Baker was brought out for a second-straight night to close things out for the Rays, and he needed just 13 pitches (seven strikes) to do so Tuesday. He's converted seven-straight save opportunities, and his 18 saves are tied with Mason Miller for second-most in the majors behind Cade Smith (21). Given that he's come out of the bullpen in two-straight games, it's unlikely that Baker will be deployed for Wednesday's series finale against Boston.
