Gus Varland retired four of the five batters he faced, striking out two of them, for his fourth save Thursday against the Twins.

Varland came in with two outs in the eighth and gave up a single to Byron Buxton before slamming the door in a two-run game. He was removed from a save opportunity for matchup purposes in Sunday’s game, but he’s very clearly the favorite for saves in D.C. right now.
