Strahm walked one batter and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn a save over the Royals on Friday.
Strahm worked around a two-out walk to finish out the 2-1 victory, picking up his fourth save of the year and first since June 8. He'd blown three straight save chances since that last conversion despite posting a 2.57 ERA over his previous 22 appearances. While Strahm worked the ninth inning, Garrett Whitlock pitched in the eighth and both Matt Barnes and John Schreiber got the night off.
