Hader (3-0) pitched a perfect ninth inning with two strikeouts and earned the extra-inning win Sunday over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Hader took care of business to keep the game tied at 1-1 in the ninth inning, and Milwaukee pulled ahead in the top of the 10th. With Hader and Devin Williams already done for the day, Drew Rasmussen was called on for the save, and he converted with a scoreless inning. The 27-year-old Hader has a 0.71 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB across 12.2 innings. He's been dominant and effective as the closer, converting all seven of his save opportunities so far. The southpaw hasn't pitched in a save situation since April 30, as Milwaukee has gone 2-7 in May.

Hader struck out the side in the ninth to pick up his seventh save of the year in a 3-1 win over the Dodgers on Friday.

Hader pitched one inning Thursday, allowing one run on two hits with one strikeout, and shut the door on a 2-1 victory over Los Angeles.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't the cleanest appearance as Hader allowed a leadoff single to Chris Taylor who eventually came around on a subsequent Austin Barnes single to cut the deficit to one, but he was able to induce a Mookie Betts flyout to earn the save. This is Hader's fifth straight appearance with a save.

Hader pitched a perfect ninth inning while recording one strikeout en route to his fifth save of the season in a 5-4 over the Marlins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Hader had a nice and easy 1-2-3 ninth inning on 13 pitches as he got the first two hitters to fly out before striking out Chad Wallach on a slider to end the game. The 27-year-old has been as dominant as ever to begin the year with one hit, zero runs allowed and a 14:4 K:BB over 7.2 innings.

Hader walked one and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his fourth save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The southpaw has been absolutely dominant to begin the season. Hader has yet to give up a run in 6.2 innings and has only allowed one measly hit while racking up a 13:4 K:BB. With two wins in addition to his four saves over seven appearances, Hader has more than earned his draft status as one of the first relievers off the board.

Hader recorded a three-out save, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two in the win over the Padres on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't Hader's most efficient save, but he got the job done. Fernando Tatis' double was the first hit that Hader has allowed all season. The southpaw managed to strike out the last two batters, stranding runners at second and third base for his third save. The 27-year-old has only surrendered one hit and three walks while striking out 11 in 5.2 innings this season.

Hader pitched a scoreless ninth inning Monday, allowing a walk but striking out one for his second save of the year in a 3-1 win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Hader's only blemish in the inning was surrendering a walk to Fernando Tatis to give the Padres a slim chance to make some noise with Manny Machado and Eric Hosmer following him up in the order. However, the hard-throwing left-hander closed the door and continued his stellar start to the season, as he's now thrown 4.2 scoreless innings and a 9:2 K:BB.

Hader recorded his first save of the season after tossing a scoreless outing. He recorded a strikeout in two-thirds of an inning.
EDGE Analysis
Hader was called upon duty when the Cubs scored two runs off Drew Rasmussen in the top of the ninth. However, he closed the door after recording the final two outs in dominant fashion since he tossed five of his six pitches for strikes. The lefty reliever has yet to allow a run in three appearances this season, striking out six and walking out through 2.2 innings.
