Neris struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn his 16th save of the season Sunday against the Cubs.
Neris was effective during his first save situation in a week, throwing 10 of 15 pitches for strikes while retiring the side in order. He's now thrown 4.2 consecutive scoreless innings and racked up three saves over his last five appearances to lower his ERA back down to 3.17. Neris has pitched consistently at the back end of the bullpen this season and should continue as the team's closer down the stretch.
