Michael Lorenzen Picks Up Save Wednesday
3 years agoCincinnati Reds right-hander Michael Lorenzen got the final five outs of a 6-5 win over the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday to pick up his first save of the season. Lorenzen worked around two hits allowed and struck out three to preserve the victory for his team. The save comes on just Lorenzen's fifth appearance of the season as he has dealt with shoulder and hamstring injuries this season. Lorenzen getting the save opportunity is notable as closer Heath Hembree has been struggling of late, blowing a save on Tuesday and allowing at least a run in each of his past four appearances. Lorenzen could be in line for more save chances moving forward and is worth a waiver add as a result.
