Henry picked up the save Thursday against the Phillies, yielding one hit with one strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning.
It was reported that the 26-year-old rookie would be in the mix for saves after the Nationals traded closer Kyle Finnegan near the deadline. However, Jose Ferrer got the first save opportunity Aug. 9 while Henry pitched the eighth frame. Their roles reversed Thursday, with Ferrer handling setup duties while Henry recorded his first career save. He's allowed one run on four hits and two walks across 5.2 innings in August. Given that Ferrer is a southpaw and Henry is a right-hander, Washington could utilize a matchup-based approach to the closer role during the final stretch of the regular season.
