Hand allowed three hits in the ninth inning against the Cardinals on Thursday but escaped the jam to earn his 16th save.
He didn't make things easy on himself, giving up a trio of singles to bring the go-ahead run to the plate, but Hand ultimately struck out Dexter Fowler to leave the bases loaded. The lefty has been a little shaky in his first three appearances of September (seven hits, three runs in three innings), but he should have plenty of leash in the role after going two months without an earned run allowed earlier this summer.
