The nine pitch save was Hader’s second save of the season. What a start to the season it has been for All-Star reliever. He has thrown 30 pitches in his three innings of work this season. There have been 22 swings on those 30 pitches and 18 of those 22 swings have been swings and misses.

It’s not that hard to find a replacement for your injured closer when you have a guy like Hader on your roster. He has almost unhittable stuff.
