EDGE Analysis

After a rough weekend series against Minnesota in which Yates suffered a blown save and a loss across two appearances, the veteran righty looked sharp in this 15-pitch performance. The 37-year-old retired the 8-9-1 batters in order, as he's now made 12 straight appearances with a punchout. Over that span, Yates has been one of the league's best closers, pitching to a 2.57 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB while going 6-for-7 in save opportunities across 13 frames.
