Betances notched his fourth save of the season in Friday's 6-3 victory over the Rays, striking out the side in a perfect ninth inning.
The new closer was at it again, needing only 12 pitches, nine of which he threw for strikes, to dispose of the Rays in the ninth. It marked the second straight night in which Betances struck out the side, and he has at least two strikeouts in five straight appearances. The 28-year-old has been stellar since taking over the closer's job following the trades of Aroldis Chapman and Andrew Miller, converting all four of his save opportunties since the beginning of August.
