Drew Steckenrider Saves 12th Game Tuesday
3 years agoSeattle Mariners relief pitcher Drew Steckenrider saved his 12th game of the season Tuesday, locking down a 4-2 victory over the Oakland Athletics in an inning of work. He struck out two batters and allowed one hit. It continues to be a shared closer job with Paul Sewald, and in this contest Sewald pitched the eighth inning. Manager Scott Servais continues to play the matchups with the back end of his bullpen, so both Steckenrider and Sewald have most value in leagues that reward both saves and holds. Steckenrider has a 2.09 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 57 strikeouts in 64 2/3 innings.
