Archie Bradley Picks Up Save Versus Nats On Thursday
3 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies relief pitcher Archie Bradley allowed two hits and an unearned run, but held on for the save on Thursday to help complete a four-game sweep of Washington. Bradley allowed a one-out double to Juan Soto who would score one batter later on an error by shortstop Didi Gregorius, which put the tying run in scoring position. The right-hander buckled down, however, and got the next two outs to collect his second save as a Phillie. The Philly bullpen looks like it's fallen into a full-blown committee since Ranger Suarez moved to the starting rotation. Former Texas closer Ian Kennedy is in the mix, but he's gotten off to a rough start in Philadelphia and it was Jose Alvarado who earned the previous save. Kennedy is the most likely candidate to get the next save, but Bradley, Alvarado, and Hector Neris are also candidates.
