Watson allowed a run on two hits and walk in the ninth inning Wednesday, but held on to earn his seventh save of the season

EDGE Analysis

Watson has pitched well since taking over the closer job after Mark Melancon was traded away, earning seven saves in August already. This one wasn't easy though, as the veteran left-hander needed 28 pitches to retire the side, and put the potential winning run on base. Watson now has a 2.77 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 52 innings on the year.
