Storen pitched a perfect 11th inning Wednesday, striking out two, to pick up his 19th save of the season. He continues to put up extremely impressive numbers, and Storen now has a 1.11 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 32:3 K:BB ratio in 24.1 innings, and he has yet to allow a home run this season. The latter stat could be due for some regression, given that he's got a career-low 0.77 GB/FB ratio, but as long as he continues to dominate the strike zone, Storen should remain an elite closing option.

Storen allowed one run on two hits while striking out a pair as he finished off a 7-5 against the Cubs on Friday night to record his 18th save. Now 18-for-19 in save opportunities, Storen has allowed just 16 hits and three walks while striking out 30 in 23.1 innings, which equates to him being an elite closer on a very good team that figures to win a lot of games this season. Enjoy.

Storen picked up his 16th save of the season in Wednesday's victory over the Cubs. Storen allowed a hit in Wednesday's game, but that was just the sixth he has given up in 12.1 innings this month. He has also posted a 16:0 K:BB ratio in May and owns a 27:3 mark on the season. Expect him to continue seeing plenty of save opportunities for a Nationals squad that is 18-6 since the beginning of May.

Storen pitched a perfect ninth inning against the Cubs on Monday to earn his second save in as many days. Storen went three up and three down in the ninth with one strikeout to earn save number 15 on the year. He holds a 0.89 ERA and a 0.79 WHIP up to this point and has been one of the most dominating closers in the game.

Storen gave up one hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning Sunday to notch his 14th save of the season. He hasn't given up an earned run in over a month, and Storen now has a 0.93 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 25:3 K:BB ratio in 19.1 innings. With Casey Janssen off the DL and shoring up the eighth inning, the back of the Nationals' bullpen appears to be in very good hands.

Storen lucked into a save Saturday having to record just one out in the 4-1 win over San Diego. Storen appeared as though he was getting the night off until Aaron Barrett allowed two baserunners and a run to score in the ninth, which ultimately gave Storen the call for the save.

Storen struck out one batter in a perfect ninth inning Sunday to notch his ninth save of the season. He continues to excel as the Nationals' closer. After pitching on back-to-back days, however, don't be surprised if Aaron Barrett or Tanner Roark get the nod on Monday instead of Storen if a save situation arises for the Nats.

Storen picked up his first win of the season Saturday, tossing a perfect inning in a tie game before Bryce Harper ended it with a walkoff home run in the bottom of the ninth. While the Nats have had trouble finding pitchers who can be consistent set-up men for him, Storen has been a rock as the team's closer and now sports a 1.38 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB ratio in 13 innings to go along with eight saves in nine chances.

Storen gave up a single and hit Donovan Solano with a pitch, but then settled down and struck out Giancarlo Stanton and Marcell Ozuna to close out Wednesday's win and earn his eighth save of the season. He's now got a nifty 1.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB ratio in 12 innings. Storen remains one of the better second-tier closer options in the league.

Storen worked a perfect ninth inning on Sunday to notch his seventh save of the season. He doesn't have dominant raw stuff, but Storen can generate a lot of weak contact, and his 1.64 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB ratio through 11 innings have made him one of the best closing options in the NL through the first weeks of the season.
