When Edwin Díaz struck out Yuli Gurriel and Max Stassi en route to his league-leading 46th save, he didn’t just help the Mariners make history in their first-ever four-game sweep of the Astros; he made a little history for himself, too. Stassi was Díaz’s 100th strikeout of the season, making him the third Mariners reliever to cross the 100-strikeout threshold. With the three more he added in yesterday’s extra-innings effort against Oakland, he came one away from JJ Putz’s record. He needs just nine more to become the single-season club leader.
