On Wednesday and Thursday, Jose A. Ferrer tossed two consecutive scoreless ninth innings to secure the Nationals’ series win over the Mets. The new Nats closer now has four saves on the season and has pitched nine and one third consecutive scoreless innings. For a relief unit that has been historically bad throughout the year and has lost a number of key contributors, Ferrer is a bright spot. Drew Storen, Rafael Soriano, Daniel Hudson, and Kyle Finnegan all had impressive runs closing games for Washington. Now, it is Ferrer’s turn.
Ferrer’s statistics do not stand out on a Baseball Reference page.
