6 years agoOakland Athletics closer Blake Treinen allowed two runs - one earned - and three hits with a walk in the ninth inning on Sunday against the Texas Rangers, but he was able to hang on for his 14th save. He needed 22 pitches, and he managed first-pitch strikes to just three of the seven batters he faced, but Treinen hung on and got the job done. After a near-flawless season in 2018, Treinen has come back to Earth this season, allowing seven earned runs over his past 13 1/3 innings. Despite the struggles, he has blown just two of his 16 save chances and remains a reliable fantasy closer across all formats.--Daniel Dobish
