RecapDevin Williams allowed two hits and struck out two batters over an inning and a third to secure the save against the Braves on Friday.
Williams was called upon in a tense situation in the eighth inning with runners on second and third in a three run game with two outs. He gave up a hit to Eli White there – that nearly went down the line if not for a diving effort from third baseman Brett Baty – then retired Rowdy Tellez to end that threat. Afterwards, Mauricio Dubón knocked a single in the ninth after a 14-pitch battle, but struck out Michael Harris and Matt Olson to close this one out. He’s now converted eight of his last nine save opportunities after what started out as a very choppy season.
