4 years agoCleveland Indians closer Brad Hand allowed one hit but struck out the side to record the save Tuesday against the Pirates. Hand entered the game with a three-run lead in the 10th inning. Even with a runner starting on second base, he held the Pirates scoreless, inducing two swinging strikeouts. After early-season struggles, Hand has not allowed an earned run in any of his last five outings, spanning 4 1/3 innings. He now has six saves and has generated 10 strikeouts across 6 2/3 frames for the season. Hand seems to have a firm grasp on the closer role and fantasy owners should roll him out with confidence in leagues that credit saves.--James Stokke
