Pagan walked one and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 24th save of the season in a 6-4 win over the Cubs.
The veteran closer is closing out 2026 on a high note. Pagan hasn't been scored upon in seven straight appearances and hasn't blown a save since returning from the IL at the beginning of July, posting a 2.03 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 32:5 K:BB over his last 26.2 innings with three wins and 18 saves.
