EDGE Analysis

The Pirates called upon Vazquez with a runner at second and two outs while ahead by two in the top of the eighth. Vazquez retired the next batter, and then the Pirates added three insurance runs in the bottom of the inning. For how dominating his stuff can be, Vazquez has an inflated 1.21 WHIP, but he is also 15-for-16 in save chances with a 2.30 ERA and 43 strikeouts in 27.1 innings.
