Hader gave up one hit while striking out two batters in a scoreless inning against Arizona on Sunday to earn his 22nd save.

EDGE Analysis

Hader entered in the ninth inning staked to a three-run lead and made easy work of the Diamondbacks, striking out two and allowing only a harmless single. The scoreless outing was a welcome sight after Hader allowed two runs in three of his previous five appearances. Despite the recent struggles, the flamethrowing lefty has continued to cement his name atop of the list of the most dominant relievers in baseball this season, compiling a 2.27 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 16.6 K/9 while converting 22 of 24 save opportunities.

Hader allowed two unearned runs on three hits and zero walks while striking out two during the ninth inning in his 21st save of the season to finish a 5-4 victory against the Braves on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The game should have finished two batters earlier, but Brewers catcher Manny Pina committed a throwing error after a dropped third strike. That led to two runners scoring against Hader in the frame. Because of the blunder, though, Hader picked up an extra strikeout, and he still posted his 21st save. He is 21-for-23 in save chances with a 2.35 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 84 strikeouts in 46 innings this season.

Hader blew his second save of the season in Friday's 10-7 extra-inning loss to the Giants, giving up two runs on two home runs over two innings while striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

Entering the game in the eighth inning to protect a 5-4 lead, Hader served up a pinch-hit solo shot to Tyler Austin and another homer to Brandon Crawford in the ninth to put the Brewers behind, only for Christian Yelich to bail the Milwaukee closer out in the bottom of the ninth with a triple and eventual tying run off Will Smith. Hader was dealing with back stiffness prior to the All-Star break that cost him a chance to appear in the Midsummer Classic, and his first appearance after the break suggests he may not be 100 percent yet.

Hader will not participate in the All-Star Game due to back stiffness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers haven't placed Hader on the injured list but have listed him as day-to-day. He'll skip the midseason exhibition to rest, with his teammate Brandon Woodruff earning an All-Star nod in his place.

Hader walked a batter and earned a strikeout in 1.1 innings during a hold in a 7-6 victory against the Pirates on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Brewers turned to Hader in the bottom of the seventh while holding a 2-1 lead. Hader recorded the final out of that frame and then made it through the eighth without allowing a hit. The Brewers scored four runs in their top of the eighth, so with a five-run lead, they elected to go with a different pitcher in a non-save situation for the ninth. That decision proved to be costly because the Pirates forced extra innings, but Hader is still 1-3 with 20 saves, 2.09 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 79 strikeouts in 43 innings this season.

Hader allowed two runs on two hits while striking out on batter, earning the save against the Reds on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hader took the mound in the eighth inning with a 6-3 lead and served up a two-run shot to Eugenio Suarez. It was the seventh homer allowed by Hader this year and the first since June 1. Monday also broke Hader's 11.1-inning scoreless streak.

Hader struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his 20th save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw has now reeled off eight straight scoreless appearances, posting a typically dominant 20:4 K:BB in 11.1 innings over that stretch. Hader has only blown one save so far this season, and his 1.77 ERA and 17.04 K/9 continue to put him among the league's elite relievers.

Hader completed two spotless innings against the Mariners on Thursday, striking out three batters to earn the save.

EDGE Analysis

Hader was summoned in the eighth inning to protect a three-run lead and made things look easy, retiring all six batters he faced -- including three by strikeout -- to earn his 19th save. It was the third straight outing of exactly two-innings for Hader, each of which has resulted in a blemish-free save. After posting an uncharacteristic 4.63 ERA in April, the 25-year-old has been downright dominant in May and June, allowing only two runs while striking out 45 batters in 25 innings.

Hader struck out four over two perfect innings to nail down his 18th save in a 6-5 victory over the Reds on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The dominant left-hander was extremely efficient, retiring six hitters on 18 pitches. Amazingly, Hader averaged four pitches per batter to the four hitters he struck out and then retired the other two on one-pitch groundouts. Hader is 18-for-19 in save opportunities with a 1.91 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 73 strikeouts in 37.2 innings this season.

He came back out for the ninth and made quick work of it, including outs on three consecutive pitches to end the game. Hader continues to rack up saves and strikeouts, making him a top-notch closer for fantasy purposes.
