Hand struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his ninth save of the season in a 5-3 win over Atlanta.
The veteran closer threw only six of 13 pitches for strikes, but the left-hander still got the Job done. He's converted six straight saves and nine of 11 on the season, but Hand's 3.54 ERA and 1.28 WHIP still bear the scars of his struggles in May.
