Koenig secured the save in a 6-3 win over the Phillies on Wednesday, throwing a clean ninth inning with one strikeout.
AnalysisKoenig got the call to earn his first save of the season Wednesday. With the possibility of having to face superstar lefties
Kyle Schwarber and
Bryce Harper in the frame, the southpaw likely received the nod over righty
Abner Uribe for matchup-related reasons. Closer
Trevor Megill (elbow) is targeting a return by mid-September, so Koenig will likely revert back to a setup role before long. Koenig has a decent 3.32 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 57 innings while recording 25 holds this year.
