3 years agoCincinnati Reds right-hander Heath Hembree threw a scoreless ninth inning to save a 5-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday. Hembree did not allow a base-runner in the outing while picking up his second save in as many days. The veteran right-hander has been excellent of late, posting a 1.23 ERA, four saves, and 10 strikeouts spanning 7 1/3 innings over his past seven appearances. Hembree overall has eight saves as he has overtaken the ninth-inning role for the Reds this season. He has pitched well enough to hold onto the spot even after Tejay Antone and Lucas Sims return from the injured list.--Matt T - RotoBaller
