Betances allowed a hit and a walk but struck out the side as he nabbed his third save Thursday against the Red Sox.
With the exodus of Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman, Betances has been thrust into the closer's role and has been perfect so far. The hard-throwing reliever has yet to yield a run since the trade deadline and has struck out 10 batters over his last five innings, lowering his ERA to 2.32.
