Diaz struggled for the second outing in a row Friday, but still posted his ninth save in as many chances, allowing two runs on one hit and three walks with three strikeouts against the Brewers.
Diaz walked the leadoff batter, struck out two, walked two more and then allowed a two-run single to make it a one-run game, but he came back to strike out the final batter to end the threat. In Wednesday's save, he allowed a run on three hits. Diaz said afterward that he had trouble with his arm slot on his fastball, which led to the control problems. Although he's wobbled lately, it's at least a good sign that he hasn't imploded.
