Finnegan walked a batter and struck out a batter while throwing a scoreless ninth frame to pick up his fifth save of the year in a 4-1 win over the Brewers on Friday.
Finnegan had to work around a leadoff walk and was able to retire the next three batters he faced to secure the save. The 29-year-old has picked up all five of his saves since July 29 and owns a 0.93 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 5:2 K:BB over 9.2 innings since then. Although the Nationals are in tank mode, Finnegan should see the bulk of what few save opportunities remain.
