After the Rangers took a one-run lead in the top of the ninth, Phil Maton recorded the first out in the bottom of the inning and gave up a base hit before Armstrong was called on to close things out. He worked around another hit, striking out two batters to preserve the win and convert his ninth save of the season.

The 34-year-old hurler was called upon by manager Bruce Bochy to protect a 5-3 advantage in the ninth. He served up a one-out, solo homer to Jake Bauers that pulled the Brewers to within a run and then allowed a two-out single to Jackson Chourio, but Armstrong got Christian Yelich to line out to center field to squash that rally and end the game. For the time being, Armstrong looks like the favorite for save chances in the Rangers’ bullpen.

With one on, Armstrong struck out Jose Altuve on three pitches to end the eighth. He then pulled off a perfect 10-pitch ninth. He’s clearly Bruce Bochy’s favorite reliever at the moment, making him potentially useful in mixed leagues.

Chris Martin got the win after turning in a scoreless ninth. Armstrong has now earned the Rangers’ last three saves, making him the guy in the pen worth rostering at the moment.

It’s the fifth save of the season for Armstrong, and his last two have been multi-inning efforts. The 34-year-old walked one, didn’t strike anyone out, and didn’t allow a hit. Armstrong has also picked up the last two saves for the Rangers, and it seems like he’s going to get the bulk of the chances down the stretch for Texas.

Armstrong had to clean up the mess made by Robert Garcia, but he was able to do just that to pick up his third save of the season. He’s been solid as a late-inning option with a 3.13 ERA, but it’s hard to imagine he’s going to get more than a handful of save chances in 2025.

That’s certainly more than the Rangers were expecting from Armstrong, who had topped out at two innings previously this season and hadn’t struck out more than three. He’s pitched 11 1/3 scoreless innings in his last 10 appearances, lowering his ERA from 4.82 to 3.00. He might make another spot start next weekend, but he’s going to be in the pen for the most part going forward.
