Strop earned his ninth save of the year after tossing a scoreless ninth inning Friday against the Nationals, striking out one.
Strop was called on to hold a one-run lead and did just that, working around his own error to shut the door. He's done a very good job filling in for Brandon Morrow, whose return timetable from his biceps injury remains unclear. Strop and his 2.74 ERA and 9.0 K/9 should remain a capable closing option for the foreseeable future.
