Despite the admirable performance Thursday, Ribalta was the sixth pitcher to come out of the pen and the Nationals didn&#8217;t have many more places to turn for the 10th inning. It&#8217;s not likely that the right-hander will see many more leverage situations like this in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"gn-subscribe-cta__logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/images\/rebrand-assets\/site-logo\/logo_symbol.svg\" alt=\"RotoWire\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Win Your League With RotoWire!<\/p>\n<p>Unlock our premium fantasy baseball tools<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a class=\"gn-subscribe-cta__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/subscribe\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign Up Now<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ribalta earned the save Thursday against the Pirates, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks while&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":320056,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2276],"tags":[5,2291,74922,4,1586],"class_list":{"0":"post-677348","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb-draft","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-major-league-baseball-draft","10":"tag-minor-league-stats","11":"tag-mlb","12":"tag-mlb-draft"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116417874702357244","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677348","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=677348"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/677348\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/320056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=677348"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=677348"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=677348"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
