Steve Cishek had a great week for the Seattle Mariners, hurling 4 shutout innings and recording his first save of the season. He struck out 4 and walked 1 through 3 appearances. The opposition hit just .143 against Cishek this week, and he allowed just 0.75 walks/hits per inning.
There were high hopes for Cishek when he signed with Seattle this offseason, but also some trepidation. M’s fans have been burnt badly by closers in the past, and Cishek had his worst season as a pro in 2014. However, he has done well so far with the Mariners, going 1-1 with 1 save and a 1.5o ERA.
Unlike Fernando Rodney, Steve Cishek throws strikes consistently. Sometimes the other team is going to hit what you’re throwing, but at least Cishek doesn’t beat himself.
