AI Summary
Bryan Baker earned his 12th save of the season by closing out the Marlins in the ninth inning, preserving a three-run lead. Baker has been performing well for the Rays this season with a 2.79 ERA and strong strikeout-to-walk ratio over 19 1/3 innings.
He made things a bit interesting by allowing a leadoff single to Joe Mack, but rebounded to retire Xavier Edwards on a line out to left, Liam Hicks on a fielder's choice and Otto Lopez on pop out to shortstop to end it. Baker has been a revelation for the Rays -- and for fantasy managers -- in the ninth inning this season, posting a 2.79 ERA and 23/8 K/BB ratio over 19 1/3 innings of work while converting 12 of his 15 save opportunities.
