Secures first savePressly threw a scoreless ninth inning with one strikeout Saturday against the Mariners to earn his first save of the season.

ImpactFantasy managers no longer have to look at a goose egg from Pressly in the saves column after he closed out a 1-0 win on eight pitches (seven strikes). The Astros are currently down several star players, but Pressly is clearly fine and there will be plenty more save chances for him to come, especially when the team is back at full strength.

Limits damage from 10 hitsFlexen (1-1) allowed one run on 10 hits over six innings in a loss to the Astros on Saturday. He struck out three and did not issue a walk.

ImpactOnly one of the 10 hits went for extra bases and Flexen did not hand out a single free pass, but even so he was fortunate to escape with just one run on his ledger. The Mariners' defense turned two double plays behind him. Flexen is holding his own in his return stateside (3.38 ERA), but he would be well served to dial the strikeouts back up. He faces a tough road test in Boston next weekend.

Blanks Mariners over eightGreinke (2-1) allowed four hits over eight scoreless innings in a win over the Mariners on Saturday. He struck out six and did not issue a walk.

ImpactAfter Greinke breezed through eight scoreless on 91 pitches, Ryan Pressly enter the game and completed the shutout for Houston. True to his word, Greinke ditched his slider in this outing, as Brian McTaggart of MLB.com notes. The right-hander said he would table the pitch after he was rocked for three homers against the Tigers earlier this week. He has four other quality pitches to lean on and will hope this formula can produce similar results at home against the Angels next week.
