Washington Nationals: Koda Glover better than expected
Since inheriting the closer role, Washington Nationals reliever Koda Glover has excelled. Although a future trade is likely he is not the problem.
It might sound weird after a spring of uncertainty, but the Washington Nationals have their closer.
This does not mean they should not be active at the trade deadline for help, as the rest of the pen is as shaky as the San Andreas Fault, but Koda Glover is the Nats man.
Except for one iffy outing Sunday against the Oakland Athletics, Glover has done the job. In nine save situations, he has converted eight and not blown any. In that game, remember Shawn Kelley gave up the grand slam to make it a one-run game.
