McGee allowed a hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
San Francisco trailed from the fourth to the ninth innings, but it pulled ahead with a four-run rally in the final frame. McGee was able to protect a two-run lead without trouble to earn his 20th save in 22 chances this year. He's been the primary closer since mid-June, logging eight of his saves since June 14 while adding a hold and a win in that span. Overall, he owns a 2.52 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 44:7 K:BB across 39.1 innings this season. Tyler Rogers, who didn't pitch Thursday, figures to see most of the save chances if McGee is unavailable for any reason.

San Francisco's closer concludes the first half on an impressive streak of 13.2 straight innings without permitting an earned run dating back to June 4. He enters the All-Star break with a 2.72 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 41:7 K:BB ratio.

McGee earned the save against the Nationals on Friday, pitching a scoreless inning in which he gave up one hit and one walk while striking out one.
EDGE Analysis
McGee retired the first two batters he faced in the ninth inning before allowing a single and a walk to bring the winning run to the plate. He was able to put away Josh Bell on a grounder, however, to close out the contest. McGee now has six saves over his eight appearances since June 14 while Tyler Rogers has only two saves during that span. It's becoming increasingly clear that McGee has emerged as the primary ninth-inning option for San Francisco, though Rogers continues to pitch well and will likely continue to see save opportunities on occasion.
