Watson did not allow a baserunner over an inning in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants moved a pair of relievers at the trade deadline, but neither was closer Will Smith, which keeps Watson in his current role as the club's left-handed setup man. The 34-year-old owns a 2.80 ERA through 48 games, but he may be overperforming. He's hiding a 4.43 xFIP, which is due to his lackluster strikeout rate (6.8 K/9) and a lofty 1.20 HR/9.
