Albers struck out one in a clean inning of work to earn his second save of the season in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Phillies.

Koda Glover and Shawn Kelley -- newly returned from the disabled list -- both threw in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader, which is the likeliest reason for Albers getting the call despite pitching earlier in the day himself. Albers has the most desirable ratios of any of the Nats' current group of relievers, but his two aforementioned teammates are expected to see most of the save opportunities moving forward as things currently stand.
