Matt Strahm Stats

Boston Red Sox relief pitchers Matt Strahm and Josh Schreiber pitched the ninth inning in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Tigers. Strahm started the ninth inning with a two-run lead. He allowed a leadoff, solo home run and got the next two hitters out on a ground out and a strikeout. Strahm was then replaced by Schreiber, who allowed a single before getting the final out on a ground out. Schreiber now has two saves on the season and Strahm has three. However, Tanner Houck appears to be the bullpen arm to roster in fantasy right now, as he had earned the team's previous five saves and likely only did not pitch tonight because he had pitched in the previous two games.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Strahm picked up his third save of the season on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels, striking out one in two-thirds of an inning. John Schreiber opened the ninth inning for Boston, but they turned to Strahm after he picked up his second save of the year on Tuesday. Meanwhile, skipper Alex Cora confirmed that reliever Tanner Houck will be used in one- and two-inning situations, similar to how they used Garrett Whitlock last season. Boston's closing situation is still very unclear, but Strahm now has now locked down back-to-back save chances and appears to be emerging as the favorite for ninth-inning duties alongside Houck, Schreiber and Jake Diekman.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Strahm earned the win in Monday night's 6-3 victory over the Houston Astros, throwing 1 2/3 scoreless innings with three strikeouts. He allowed one hit. Strahm has been the strongest member of the Boston bullpen so far this year, recording a 2.13 ERA and 0.71 WHIP with 14 strikeouts in 12 2/3 innings. With the closer situation heavily in flux, Strahm could stand to inherit the role at some point. He already has one save and three holds to his name in 15 appearances, and manager Alex Cora seems bound to recognize that Strahm might just be his best ninth-inning option, though Hansel Robles earned the save in this one.
