Papelbon struck out one in a perfect ninth inning during Friday's win over the Mets to notch his 18th save of the season.

EDGE Analysis

He's looked very good since coming off the DL last week, striking out six and allowing no hits or walks in three shutout innings. Barring a flashy trade for someone like Aroldis Chapman, Papelbon should remain locked in as the Nats' closer for the rest of the season.
