Lindstrom Gets Save No. 3 In Closers Role
Matt Lindstrom pitched a perfect ninth for his third save in Friday night’s 2-1 win over Washington. Since being named the closer to replace Kevin Gregg, Lindstrom is 3-for-3 without allowing a hit. Kevin Gregg pitched the seventh inning of Friday’s game. Lindstrom long projected as a closer and Gregg has blown nine saves this year, so perhaps the Marlins are just preempting the inevitable. If Lindstrom remains the closer, he could serve as a nice No. 2 Fantasy option down the stretch since he pitches for an above-.500 team. If you have a desperate need for saves, don’t cut Gregg just yet since this situation still seems a bit unsettled. (Rotowire, CBS Sports)
