Mike MacDougal walked two Atlanta hitters, but finished off a scoreless ninth inning for his fourth save on Saturday.

Analysis: This makes four saves in four chances for MacDougal, but he certainly has made things interesting/terrifying for Nats fans and owners alike thanks to his control issues. MacDougal now has a 10/17 K/BB ratio in 19 2/3 innings this season, and a sky-high 1.78 WHIP. He's getting saves for now, and has done so in the past -- albeit fairly far in the past, as Mac the Ninth hasn't held down ninth-inning responsibilities consistently since 2005 -- but this tightrope routine is tough to take. Still, NL-only owners who can take the WHIP bump should keep him in the lineup.
