rewrite this title Aroldis Chapman accomplishes another rare feat

Boston Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman continues to mow down hitters at a historic pace, and he accomplished yet another rare feat on Sunday.

Chapman recorded his 29th save of the year in Boston’s 7-4 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. He did so by pitching a ninth inning that was, you could say, better than perfect.

Chapman struck out four Diamondbacks hitters to close out the game. The left-hander struck out second baseman Blaze Alexander and pinch hitter Ildemaro Vargas swinging to begin the inning, but Vargas reached first base on a wild pitch. That was no issue at all for Chapman.

While some pitchers might implode in a situation like that, Chapman settled back in and struck out first baseman Tyler Locklear and third baseman Jordan Lawlar swinging to end the game.
