RecapClayton Beeter only needed 16 pitches to toss a scoreless ninth and earn the save in Sunday’s 4-2 win over the Padres.
Beeter struck out one and allowed one hit, registering his second save in as many days. The four saves tie him with Gus Varland and Richard Lovelady for the team lead. Beeter’s 15/12 K/BB ratio makes him untrustworthy in most fantasy leagues, but he’ll remain part of this closer-by-committee going forward. It’ll be worth tracking if the Nationals trade away any relievers come July, which could open up a consolidated closer role for anyone who remains.
