Hader’s Unbeatable August Run | Houston News

Josh Hader is dominating like never before, just winning his ninth American League Reliever of the Month award after going a perfect 38 games with zero runs allowed all month. His ERA? A jaw-dropping 0.72 — best in MLB among pitchers with 37+ innings. He’s also leading the league in WHIP and on a 25-save streak dating back to last year. After a rough start due to injury that forced the Astros to use Bryan Abreu as closer (who had an ERA over six), Hader’s return on June 2nd was instant impact — he’s now converted every save opportunity, allowed only nine hits in 37.3 innings, and hasn’t given up a run since July 20th — even in extra innings with runners on second. The Astros are 32-6 when he pitches, and he’s the reason they’re firmly in first place.
