  • Axford finally gets another save: Brewers closer John Axford had gone almost two weeks without a save chance heading into Wednesday’s game against the Giants, as the Brewers have been struggling to put wins together. However they were holding an 8-5 lead heading into the ninth inning on Wednesday and turned to Axford for his first save chance since blowing his first save of the season, and Axford finished the job quickly and quietly. He needed just 11 pitches to record a groundout and a pair of strikeouts to pick up his seventh save of the season in an 8-5 Brewers win.

    Fantasy Analysis
    Axford had a streak of 49 straight saves blown in his last opportunity, and it took 12 days for him to get another chance. This was his first save opportunity in 19 days as well. He has struggled some this season, posting a 1.63 WHIP and 4.11 ERA, however he does have 26 strikeouts in 15 1/3 innings, so he has not had much trouble overpowering hitters. The Brewers should begin winning more games moving forward, giving him more chances to pick up saves, so keep him active in most formats.
