Hand picked up the save over 1.1 perfect innings while striking out two in a 5-0 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Hand was summoned in the top of the eighth to protect a four-run lead with two runners on and the potential tying run on deck, allowing him to barely meet the qualifications for a save opportunity. The dominant lefty breezed through the final four batters of the game while picking up his 14th save of the season. The former starter has pitched in multiple innings 16 times this season, giving Hand a slight edge over more-conventional closers who generally aren't available for more than one frame.
