Josh Hader struck out a pair in a scoreless inning to get a save against the Rays on Sunday.

Hader issued a leadoff walk, and then had no issue getting through the rest of the Rays’ lineup while picking up his ninth save. He’s been dominant since returning from the injured list, and this scoreless frame lowers his ERA to a miniscule 0.61 over his 15 frames.

Josh Hader struck out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning to pick up a win against the Rays on Saturday.

Hader took the mound with the game tied in the top of the ninth and worked around a walk, striking out one batter to keep the Rays off the board. The Astros would then walk it off in the bottom of the inning, giving Hader his third win of the season to go with eight saves, a 0.64 ERA, a 0.57 WHIP, and a 22/6 K/BB ratio across 14 innings.

Josh Hader fired a perfect ninth inning against the Tigers on Saturday to record his seventh save of the season.

Hader was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the final frame and required just 11 pitches (seven strikes) to extinguish any hope of a Tigers comeback. He got Spencer Torkelson to ground out, coaxed a fly ball from Matt Vierling and struck out pinch-hitter Jahmai Jones to end it.

Josh Hader worked a hitless ninth with a two-run lead for his sixth save Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

Hader walked Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with one out, but he followed that with strikeouts of Kazuma Okamoto and Daulton Varsho. Hader has allowed one run and three hits and struck out 16 in 10 innings since coming off the injured list. Since he also pitched Tuesday, he’ll surely be down Thursday, which could lead to a save chance for Bryan King or Enyel De Los Santos.

Josh Hader earned his fifth save of the season in Sunday’s 2-1 win over the Guardians, striking out two in a perfect ninth.

Hader has a 13-1 K/BB with five saves in eight innings on the year. He has given up just two hits, one of which was an opposite-field homer by Kevin McGonigle earlier this week. Hader was sidelined with shoulder and biceps issues for most of the first two months, but has been lights out since being activated. He’s a high-end fantasy closer from here on out.

Josh Hader allowed a solo homer to Kevin McGonigle before striking out the side to earn his fourth save of the season on Wednesday.

Hader’s three strikeouts helped close the door on Houston’s 4-2 victory. The left-hander has been sensational since coming off the injured list in early June. McGonigle’s homer was the first run he has given up since being activated. Hader now has an 11-to-1 K/BB this season while looking as dominant as ever.

Josh Hader tossed a scoreless ninth inning with one strikeout to record the save against the Tigers on Tuesday.

Hader was summoned in the top of the ninth inning with a two-run lead against the Tigers. He worked around a leadoff hit, striking out the final batter to secure the win for Houston and convert his third save. The 32-year-old left-hander has been excellent since coming off the injured list, tossing six scoreless frames with eight strikeouts.
Bryan Abreu

HOU Relief Pitcher #52

Bryan Abreu worked a scoreless ninth for his fifth save against the Royals on Saturday.

Josh Hader pitchd both Wednesday and Friday, so the Astros weren’t willing to go to him again tonight. That made Abreu the closer, and he worked around a Bobby Witt Jr. double for the save. Hader should get the ninth if there’s a save situation on Sunday.

Josh Hader pitched a clean inning to earn the save against the Royals on Friday.

Hader did well to shut the door here after the Astros scored nine runs in the first inning, but needed to use seven pitchers to finish off the Royals. He didn’t allow a baserunner despite needing 20 pitches and seeing six foul balls in a one, two, three inning. His fastball has held firm between 95 and 96 mph and his swing-and-miss stuff has thankfully been at his normal elite levels through five outings so far this season.

HOU Relief Pitcher #71

Josh Hader struck out all three batters he faced in the ninth and was credited with the win after the Astros held off the Angels 5-4 in 10 innings on Monday.

The go-ahead run scored on a popup behind second after Jose Altuve tagged from third and Logan O’Hoppe whiffed on the throw home. Hader got five missed swings on his 12 pitches in a tie game tonight. In three appearances since coming off the IL, he has one win, one save and seven strikeouts in three hitless innings.

Jakob Marsee delivered a game-winning single in the 10th inning on Tuesday, lifting the Marlins to a 6-5 walk-off win over the Mariners.

Marsee ended a bizarre back-and-forth affair at loanDepot park by depositing a single into shallow right field to send the red-hot Marlins to an extra-inning victory in walk-off fashion. The 25-year-old outfielder finished 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI in the contest as Miami reached the 50-win threshold.

Max Meyer allowed two runs over five innings on Tuesday in a no-decision against the Mariners.

Meyer was cruising early on in this one, holding Seattle to just a pair of runs into the sixth inning before being pulled after loading the bases with nobody out. He finished with four strikeouts and issued two walks. Fortunately, reliever Michael Petersen came on to put out the bases-loaded fire without any runs crossing the plate. The 27-year-old All-Star righty holds a strong 2.58 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 116/38 K/BB ratio across 108 innings of work. He’ll get the ball for Sunday’s first-half finale against the Guardians.
