Mason Fluharty spoke about his first MLB save after the game

The reason why Mason Fluharty's retirement of Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts has made headlines is that Fluharty managed to retire two former MVPs with bases loaded. The last time this happened was in 2002 when Terry Hoffman retired Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent with the bases loaded.

After the victory, Fluharty spoke about his thought process during the ninth inning. On X, Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling shared Fluharty's comments on his thought process.

Fluharty said:

"No thinking, no thinking. Just go out there and do it. I was super excited, super pumped. I honestly blacked out. I have no idea what happened out there. I just trusted my pitches and attacked guys. That’s all you can do."

While Fluharty and the Toronto Blue Jays won this game, they lost the series after consecutive defeats in the last two games. In their next outing, the Blue Jays will be facing the Chicago Cubs at Rogers Centre.
