Barely holds on for ninth save
O'Brien notched save Saturday against the Dodgers, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks in the ninth inning. He struck out two.
Análisis
O'Brien needed every bit of the three-run cushion he was granted Saturday, giving up four straight hits and two runs with two outs before finally closing the door with a strikeout. The 31-year-old right-hander has been a bit shaky lately, converting just three of his last five save chances while yielding four runs during that span. Overall, O'Brien still sports a 2.20 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 19:1 K:BB with nine saves across 16.1 innings.

Hangs on for eighth save
O'Brien secured the save Wednesday against the Pirates, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks in the ninth inning. He struck out one.
Análisis
While O'Brien did allow the tying run to get aboard, he held on for his eighth save of the year courtesy of an amazing leaping catch at the wall by Nathan Church for the game's final out. The right-hander is solidifying his grip on St. Louis' closer role, posting a 1.17 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 17:1 K:BB over 15.1 frames. O'Brien trails only Mason Miller (10) in saves in the National League so far.
