Diaz puts team 1st despite lack of save chances
(MLB.com Seattle Mariners)

As the Mariners` season has dwindled to its final days, Edwin Diaz`s chance to threaten the Major League record for saves has also dissipated. After the Mariners were eliminated from realistic playoff contention with a rough August, much of the final month`s drama centered on whether their flame-throwing 24-year-old could reach the MLB record of 62 saves by Francisco Rodriguez of the Angels in 2008.
