Josh Hader saves again
It’s becoming a given that Josh Hader will save the game as the relief pitcher notched his seventh save of the season. Hader is MLB's joint save leader along with Jordan Romano (Toronto Blue Jays) and David Bednar (Pittsburgh Pirates). Hader pitched the ninth inning, where he sawed off Gabriel Moreno, Evan Longoria, and Geraldo Perdomo to save the win for the Padres.
Hader has pitched 10 innings so far with 15 strikeouts, suffering just three hits for a 0.90 ERA. Hader did need Xander Bogaerts and Jake Cronenworth to conjure up a highlight-reel play to get Longoria, but it was another critical performance from the 29-year-old southpaw.
