Blue Jays reliever records first career save in win over Orioles

Toronto Blue Jays reliever Braydon Fisher recorded his first career save on May 29 during a 6-5 comeback victory over the Baltimore Orioles. Fisher entered the game in the ninth inning and preserved the lead. The appearance marked a shift in his usage after earlier stints as an opener and bridge reliever.

Performance this season Fisher holds a 2-1 record with a 2.48 ERA, 33 strikeouts, and a 0.95 WHIP in 2026. His strikeout rate of 26.8 percent ranks in the 78th percentile, and his 28.8 percent whiff rate ranks in the 76th percentile. In his last five appearances, Toronto has won four games.

Fisher has not allowed a run in any road appearance across his first two major-league seasons, according to yardbarker.com.
