Hader gave up one earned run on two hits and a walk while striking out two to earn the save in a 4-3 win over the Pirates on Friday.
Hader had some trouble with the Pirates in the ninth inning, but he managed to close out the game to pick up his MLB-leading 26th save. With two outs and running on contact, Kevin Newman tried to score the tying run from first on a Daniel Vogelbach single, but he was thrown out at the plate on a relay. Despite relying on his defense to get the job done, Hader earned a dramatic road save. He's allowed a run in each of his last three appearances, but he still owns elite ratios with a 1.88 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 49:10 K:BB in 28.2 innings this year.
