Hoffman's Save Secures Blue Jays' 2-0 Victory Over Rangers on May 28
The Toronto Blue Jays' Jeff Hoffman, pitching in relief, secured the save in a 2-0 victory over the Texas Rangers.
What It Means
In a season where he has transitioned exclusively to a relief role, Hoffman's save against the Rangers marked his 12th of the year. Despite an ERA of 5.55, his ability to close games remains valuable for the Blue Jays.
Notably, Hoffman's strikeout rate stands out, with a K/9 of 12.9 across 24 1/3 innings. This impressive rate underscores his knack for missing bats, even as he navigates the challenges of relief pitching this season.
