Papelbon worked around a pair of hits to nail down his 22nd save of the season Sunday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran was staked to a three-run lead upon entering the game and was able to respond once the tying man came to the plate. Papelbon has totaled just five saves in his month as the Nationals' closer, but his 1.78 ERA and 0.94 WHIP indicate that he is still highly effective when called upon.
