Weissert walked one in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to record his third save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
All three of the right-hander's saves have come since June 10, but the first two opportunities arose while Aroldis Chapman was getting a rest due to a heavy workload. That wasn't the case Wednesday -- Chapman pitched the eighth inning and faced the top of the Seattle order, while Weissert was called on the retire the 4-5-6 hitters for the M's and got the job done thanks to a double play grounder from Dominic Canzone. Weissert seems to have earned the trust of manager Alex Cora, and over his last 15.2 innings dating back to May 16, the 30-year-old reliever has a 1.72 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB with a win and eight holds in addition to his recent batch of saves.

Weissert notched a save against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits in one inning.
EDGE Analysis
Primary closer Aroldis Chapman had pitched five of the previous seven days, so Red Sox manager Alex Cora held him out. That led to Weissert -- who picked up his first save of the season Tuesday -- getting his second ninth-inning opportunity of the week. The save didn't come easily, as the right-hander allowed a run before the potential tying run got to second base with two outs. However, he was able to retire Austin Wells on a flyout to end the game. There probably won't be many weeks in which Weissert gets multiple save chances, but he appears to be a trusted option on occasions when Chapman is unavailable, especially while top setup man Justin Slaten remains on the IL with a shoulder injury.

Weissert earned the save in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rays after pitching a scoreless ninth inning.
EDGE Analysis
Aroldis Chapman was unavailable after working three straight days Saturday through Monday, but Weissert was able to get the job done in the ninth, retiring the side on just seven pitches to pick up his first save of the season. He's now earned two holds and a save in his last three appearances and has allowed just two runs while posting an 11:2 K:BB in his last 12 innings. For the season, he owns a 1.65 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 37:9 K:BB in 27.1 innings.
