Stratton struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his fourth save of the season in a 10-7 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old has now gotten Pittsburgh's last two save chances and converted them both, while David Bednar hasn't pitched at all since Sept. 7, when he picked up a hold working in front of Stratton. The duo will likely continue splitting ninth-inning work down the stretch, but Stratton appears to be the slightly preferred option for manager Derek Shelton.
