Daniel Bard - Page 7 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Earns win over Padres Bard (2-2) earned the win Saturday against the Padres after pitching a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and fanning one.

Impact Bard pitched the top of the ninth inning and while he allowed a single to Jurickson Profar to kick things off, he settled down afterwards -- he induced Ty France into a double play and struck out Trent Grisham to end the frame in only nine pitches (seven strikes). Bard has allowed runs in four of his last seven relief appearances and owns a 4.35 ERA in 12 outings (10.1 innings) this month.

Back-to-back saves Bard picked up the save Tuesday against the Diamondbacks. He allowed one run on one hit and two walks while fanning two in one inning, while also hitting a batter.

Impact Bard notched his third save of the season, but it wasn't a crisp performance for the 35-year-old -- he walked Kole Calhoun to begin the inning, allowed a run on an RBI single from David Peralta, and he ultimately loaded the bases before striking out Nick Ahmed to close the game out. Bard has now allowed runs in four of his last six appearances, compiling a 7.20 ERA in five innings across that stretch.

Clean inning for save Bard pitched a perfect ninth inning with a strikeout to earn the save in Monday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Bard retired Eduardo Escobar and Nick Ahmed with groundouts before fanning Stephen Vogt to end the game. It was a change of pace to see Bard keep runs off the board -- he's allowed a run in three of his last five outings. The 35-year-old is up to two saves with a 4.15 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 15 strikeouts in 13 innings. Carlos Estevez, who has shared closing duties with Bard over the past couple weeks, logged 1.1 scoreless innings before Bard came in to close things out.

Takes loss Bard (1-2) failed to record an out and allowed a walkoff homer to Cody Bellinger to take the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers.

Impact Bard's second pitch to Bellinger was deposited into the right-field seats for the Dodgers' walkoff win. The 35-year-old Bard has now allowed a run in three of his last four outings. He has a 4.50 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP in 12 innings this season. He's recorded a save and a hold in 12 appearances and figures to continue to work in high-leverage situations.

Hasn't grabbed closer role Bard has given up one run in two of his three appearances since recording a save Aug. 11 against the Diamondbacks.

Impact On Aug. 16, Carlos Estevez came in after Bard gave up one run to pick up the save, so Estevez seems like the slight favorite in the current committee. Estevez has also been a bit more effective of late and logged two scoreless frames Thursday against the Astros in a non-save situation. However, Bard might be called on if a save situation were to arise Friday, due to Estevez's recent usage.

Could see more save chances Bard could see some save opportunities in the coming games, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

Impact Jairo Diaz had been working as the Rockies' closer recently with Wade Davis (shoulder) remains sidelined. However, Diaz has been inconsistent in recent games and was unable to finish Sunday's game against the Rangers as he struggled mightily with command. Manager Bud Black said after the game that the team will steer away from using a designated closer in the coming games, which could open the door for Bard to see more work in the ninth inning. In his return to the mound in 2020, Bard has made nine relief appearances, recording a 3.60 ERA and 12:0 K:BB over 10 innings while converting on his only save opportunity. If he can pitch consistently in the near future, he could emerge as the team's favorite option for save situations.

Records save with last out Bard recorded the final out via strikeout to earn the save in Tuesday's 8-7 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Phillip Diehl and Jairo Diaz combined to allow five runs while recording just two outs in the ninth inning, but Bard was able to whiff pinch hitter Stephen Vogt to lock down the save, his first of the year. Bard has a 3.00 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 12 strikeouts across nine innings this season. He's not expected to get many chances for saves -- ninth-inning duties have typically gone to Diaz or Wade Davis this season.
