Hader notched a save against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing one hit and striking out two batters in one scoreless inning.
AnalysisHader entered with a two-run lead in the ninth frame and quickly saw the tying run come to the plate after allowing
Shohei Ohtani to hit a leadoff single. However, Hader retired the following three batters in order, as none of
Mookie Betts,
Will Smith or
Freddie Freeman could move Ohtani past first base. Hader remains without a blown save this season, and he leads all MLB relievers with 25 total saves.
