Doolittle (4-1) allowed two hits but struck out two across one inning while earning a victory against the White Sox on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old held the White Sox off the board despite yielding two hits, and then the Nationals won on a walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth. Doolittle had a rough pair of outings two weeks ago, but since May 28, he's recorded 4.2 scoreless frames. For the season, he owns a 3.04 ERA and 1.28 WHIP, which are both a tick high for a closer. However, Doolittle has partly offset those figures with his four victories and 33 strikeouts across 26.2 innings. He is also 13-for-15 in save chances.
