Ziegler walked a batter and allowed a hit, but nailed down his fifth save of the year with a scoreless ninth against the Cardinals on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Although Ziegler has a sparkling 0.82 ERA, he also has a rather unappetizing 1.55 WHIP, and eventually his luck's going to balance out. It's worth noting that he's sitting on a career-best 7.36 K/9, a huge leap from last year's miserable 4.76 mark, but Ziegler's walks are up as well. Still, it's early and these may be little more than small-sample-size blips on the way to yet another solid campaign from Arizona's closer.
