EDGE Analysis

Doolittle continues to be a revelation in the back end of the Nationals' bullpen as his 10 saves give him the team lead over Koda Glover despite having just joined the team in mid-July. The southpaw has fired seven scoreless innings with just five base runners allowed in August. With each dominant outing, Doolittle continues to further entrench himself as the Nationals' clear answer in save situations.
