Dylan Floro Earns First Save Thursday
2 years agoMiami Marlins relief pitcher Dylan Floro earned his first save of the season Thursday, holding down a 5-4 ninth-inning lead over the Atlanta Braves. Floro tossed a perfect frame and struck out a pair. It was a nice bounceback game for Floro, who was torched for three runs and the loss on Wednesday. It was a bit of a weird situation that gave Floro the save opportunity in this one, as usual closer A.J. Puk pitched the eighth inning in what was a 4-0 Braves lead at the time. Puk hadn't worked in five days and the eighth would've been the last opportunity to use him had the Marlins not stormed back. Long story short, Puk is still the primary closer and Floro will likely only see opportunities when Puk needs a day off.
