Edwin Díaz - Picks up 10th save Diaz earned the save, allowing one hit and striking out two in the ninth inning of a 2-0 win Sunday in Colorado.
Impact After striking out the first batter, Diaz allowed a one-out single to Brendan Rodgers before finishing off the final two batters in order. The closer has recorded two or more strikeouts in eight of his last nine outings, fanning a whopping 20 batters in nine frames. While he's always been known as a prolific strikeout pitcher, punching out 38.6 percent of batters coming into this season, he's improved that rate to 47.9 percent in 2022.

Other than that he allowed only four singles, erasing two of them on double-play balls, and did not walk a batter. The 28-year-old has thrown six innings or more in five of his last six starts and has a 3.41 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in that span. His next start will likely come towards the end of the week in Washington.

With six punchouts, Walker set a season high and raised his season rate to 5.4 strikeouts per nine innings, well below his career rate of 8.1. His next start will likely be next weekend against Philadelphia.
