Dehydrated MLB saves leader Bryan Baker leaves in 9th as Rays win anyway and he says he’s OK

Tampa Bay's Bryan Baker, the league's top saves leader, continued pitching despite feeling ill during a 7-6 victory over the Texas Rangers in Arlington, Texas. His velocity dropped significantly in the ninth inning, yet he persevered. Tyler Wells took over and secured the win for the Rays, who were leading 7-5 at the time. Baker noted his velocity dropped from 95 mph to 91 mph, and he walked the first two batters of the ninth. Despite his concerns, he maintained that he was fine and expected to recover soon.
