4 Jul
Summary
- Scott achieved a perfect inning with 18 pitches, 12 strikes.
- He holds an eight-inning scoreless streak with 13 strikeouts.
- Scott has 12 saves and a 2.02 ERA this season.
In a decisive 4-3 victory over the Padres on Friday, Scott delivered a masterful performance, striking out all three batters he faced in a perfect eighth inning to earn the save. His efficiency was remarkable, needing only 18 pitches, with 12 finding the strike zone.
This outing extends Scott's impressive scoreless streak to eight consecutive innings. During this span, he has demonstrated exceptional control, recording 13 strikeouts without issuing a walk, and allowing just one hit batsman over 35.2 innings pitched this season.
Scott's season statistics include a 2.02 ERA and a 0.70 WHIP. He has accumulated 12 saves and six holds, highlighting his significant role in high-leverage situations. While his save opportunities may decrease upon Edwin Diaz's expected return later this month, Scott is poised to continue pitching in critical moments.
