Betances picked up his first save as he worked around a hit to finish off the Mets on Monday.
Betances's first save opportunity since the trades of Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller came in extra innings. He didn't make it easy -- he threw six balls against eight strikes and gave up a double to James Loney -- but he recorded a strikeout and escaped unscathed. His K:BB is up to a ridiculous 90:16 over 51.1 innings, and given his ability to rack up whiffs, he should do just fine as closer.
