  • Enyel De Los Santos (Houston Astros · Closer (highest leverage)) BLUE
    Rating 3.0 · Own 2.5%

  • Cole Sands (Minnesota Twins · Closer (highest leverage)) BLUE
    Rating 2.0 · Own 1.2%
    Appearing during a loss, Justin Topa worked a scoreless bottom of the eighth, yielding a hit and striking out one. Cole Sands retired both batters in the eighth.
