Atomic RoadRunners | Andrew Flynn’s High-Energy Fantasy Baseball

Diamondbacks RP Brandon Lyon pitched a perfect ninth inning during Tuesday’s 3-0 win against the Padres for his 22nd save in 27 chances. He needed just 11 pitches to retire the side, which included strikeouts of Edgar V. Gonzalez and Adrian Gonzalez. Lyon has closed out his last two games with scoreless outings since allowing seven runs during a two-outing span from July 19-20. He also has four strikeouts in his last two innings. Arizona acquired Jon Rauch from Washington as insurance just in case Lyon falters down the stretch. It has really motivated the right-hander and he remains a decent No. 2 Fantasy RP. (CBS Sports)
