Lugo struck out two in two perfect innings to record his second save in a 5-4 win over the Marlins during the second game of Monday's doubleheader.
Lugo was phenomenal in protecting a two-run lead. He hasn't allowed a run or hit in his last 10 innings of work, and the 29-year-old has a 2.59 ERA and 72 strikeouts through 44 games. Edwin Diaz's struggles could be opening the door for Lugo to close on a more regular basis, but it's worth noting that Diaz was likely unavailable for Monday's nightcap after striking out two in a clean inning of his own in the matinee.
