    • Settles for no-decision Monday
      King allowed one run on three hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over five innings in a no-decision against Miami on Monday.

      Advice: King pitched very well in the outing, but San Diego wasn't able to put its second run on the board until the seventh frame, preventing him from picking up a second consecutive victory. The only run the right-hander allowed came on a third-inning homer by Jazz Chisholm. King has given up one or zero runs in three of his past five starts and has racked up a 34:8 K:BB across 30 innings over that span. He's tentatively slated to make his next start in Kansas City.

      Michael King allowed one run in five innings and got a no-decision in the Padres’ 2-1 victory over the Marlins on Monday.



      Advice: King allowed three hits, one walk and struck out seven. He left the game with the score tied after five innings. King’s ERA is now 4.09 on the season. His 74 strikeouts this year rank among the top 10 in all of baseball. The 29-year-old right-hander is set to face the Royals on the road this weekend.

    • Yields run Sunday
      Hader allowed a solo home run and struck out one batter during Sunday's win over Oakland.

      Advice: Hader entered a non-save situation and eventually finished off the 5-2 win, but not before coughing up a solo shot to Shea Langeliers. That homer snapped Hader's 8.1-inning scoreless streak and his seven-inning hitless streak. The veteran southpaw owns a 4.13 ERA with a 38:9 K:BB and seven saves this season.

    • Alexis Díaz fans two to earn 10th save
      Alexis Díaz struck out both batters he faced for a save Sunday against the Dodgers.

      Advice: The Reds were up 4-0 to start the ninth, so Díaz didn’t enter then. Instead, he came in after Carson Spiers allowed Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman to reach with one out, creating the save opportunity. Díaz then retired Teoscar Hernández and Andy Pages to end the game. It was the 10th save in 12 opportunities for Díaz, who came into the day having allowed eight earned runs in 7 2/3 innings this month. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:29 pm
       
    • Grabs 10th save
      Diaz struck out both batters he faced to pick up his 10th save of the season Sunday against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Diaz closed the door on the Dodgers for the second consecutive game, though he ran both counts full and needed 16 pitches to record the final two outs. It was the fourth consecutive scoreless outing for Diaz, who appears to be turning things around after allowing 17 baserunners and 10 runs (nine earned) while blowing a save and earning two losses over his previous seven appearances spanning 5.2 innings between April 29 and May 19.

    • Earns ninth save
      Diaz threw a perfect ninth inning against the Dodgers on Saturday to secure his ninth save of the season.

      Advice: Diaz sat down Freddie Freeman, Will Smith and Teoscar Hernandez on a total of seven pitches to nail down the win for starter Hunter Greene. While Diaz still has an ugly 5.95 ERA this season, his job as the Reds' closer is not in jeopardy. He's squandered just one save in his last 10 chances, and with only two hits and two walks allowed in his last four appearances, Diaz seems to have turned the page after a rough stretch in mid-May.

    • Alexis Díaz slams door on Dodgers on Saturday
      Alexis Díaz slammed the door on the Dodgers on Saturday night, protecting a two-run lead to earn his ninth save of the season.

      Advice: The 27-year-old right-hander looked like the dominant force of yesteryear in this one, getting Freddie Freeman on a fly ball to left, Will Smith on a fly ball to right and Teoscar Hernandez on a ground ball to second base — needing just seven pitches (all strikes) to retire the side in order. He has now delivered three straight scoreless outings and successfully converted each of his last two save chances. He now holds a 5.95 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and a 20/14 K/BB ratio over 18 2/3 innings on the season. Rotoworld Saturday, 6:57 pm
       
    • Records seventh save
      Hader struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-3 win over the Athletics.

      Advice: Hader has not allowed a hit over his last five appearances spanning seven innings, and he has a 12:2 K:BB with three saves and two wins in that span. The Astros are trending upward as well, which has given Hader more consistent work. The southpaw is at a 3.91 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 37:9 K:BB over 23 innings while converting seven of eight save chances this season. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:00 pm
       
    • Josh Hader whiffs two while picking up save
      Josh Hader struck out two over a scoreless ninth to get a save Friday against the Athletics.

      Advice: Hader didn’t allow a hit and needed just 10 pitches to get through the inning even with the two strikeouts. The southpaw has now saved seven games, and his ERA has dropped to 3.91 after a few ugly outings to begin the campaign. Rotoworld Friday, 9:15 pm
