Maurer picked up his 10th save of the season Friday, tossing a clean inning in a 6-3 win over the Royals.
The 26-year-old converted his 10th save with little trouble just a day after he failed to record an out in an ugly four-run outing against the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Maurer has a tendency to get blown up in non-save situations -- which severely limits his fantasy value -- but the fact remains that he has converted five straight save opportunities since briefly being removed from the role at the end of May. He is the pitcher to own in San Diego for those hunting for saves.
