Hader gave up one earned run on two hits and a walk while striking out two to earn the save in a 4-3 win over the Pirates on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Hader had some trouble with the Pirates in the ninth inning, but he managed to close out the game to pick up his MLB-leading 26th save. With two outs and running on contact, Kevin Newman tried to score the tying run from first on a Daniel Vogelbach single, but he was thrown out at the plate on a relay. Despite relying on his defense to get the job done, Hader earned a dramatic road save. He's allowed a run in each of his last three appearances, but he still owns elite ratios with a 1.88 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 49:10 K:BB in 28.2 innings this year.
