Blake Treinen notches save in Nationals' Opening Day victory
Washington Nationals relief pitcher Blake Treinen tossed a perfect ninth inning against the Miami Marlins on Monday for his first save of the season.
Treinen struck out two Marlins as he needed just 17 pitches to set the three batters he faced down in order. The 28-year-old's hold on the closer position in Washington is not very tight, but more outings like his first one will go a long way to Treinen holding on to the job.
Our models project Treinen for 20 saves with a 3.27 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP in 55 innings pitched.
