Loaisiga earned the save against the Mariners on Saturday by pitching a perfect ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

With Aroldis Chapman (elbow) placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Loaisiga got the call to preserve a one-run ninth-inning lead. The right-hander handled the job with aplomb, needing only eight pitches to set down the side in order. It's unclear how long Chapman will be out of action, but Loaisiga -- who has impressed with a 2.48 ERA and 53:11 K:BB across 54.1 innings this season -- looks to be the primary candidate for save opportunities in his absence.
