Duran secured the save Monday against the Nationals, working around a hit batsman in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out two.
After giving up three runs while blowing a save last week against Miami, Duran has looked more like his usual self since then. The star closer has turned in back-to-back hitless outings, and he's been scored upon on just that one occasion in his last 17 appearances now. Duran boasts a 1.93 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 55:6 K:BB over 37.1 innings with 25 saves in 27 attempts.
