Watson picked up his sixth save as he worked around a hit for a scoreless ninth Tuesday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Watson has given up just two runs (one earned) over 5.2 innings as closer, and he remains perfect in save opportunities. He has just 44 strikeouts in 51 innings this year, putting him significantly behind the average closer in strikeout rate, but Watson has been excellent in a setup role for Pittsburgh (sub-2.00 ERAs in both 2014 and 2015) and should be expected to remain effective as closer.
