Jacob Webb nailed down his second save of the season on Wednesday night, allowing just an unearned run to score in the 12th inning against the Nationals.
In a wild back-and-forth affair, Webb was the one who finally calmed things down and put an end to it in the 12th. He allowed a leadoff double to Luis Garcia Jr. that played the inherited runner, then retired the next three hitters in succession to end it. On the season, Webb now holds a 1.65 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and a 20/5 K/BB ratio over 16 1/3 innings. With Craig Kimbrel on the ropes, Webb doesn’t look like a bad speculative add in deeper formats until the O’s get their bullpen straightened out.
