Who is leading Major League Baseball in saves? That would be Mariners closer Edwin Diaz

Diaz has struck out 23 of the 54 batters he's faced this season. He's allowed one run in 13 1/3 innings pitched.

CLEVELAND — Edwin Diaz emerged from the trainers room at Progressive Field and headed to his locker. He had already played catch, told pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre and manager Scott Servais that he was good to go for a fourth straight night and then got some work from the Mariners’ masseuse and training staff.

It was all just part of his process for the closer who has the most saves in Major League Baseball coming into Friday with 11.
