Mark Melancon Picks Up First Save Of The Season
4 years agoAtlanta Braves reliever Mark Melancon pitched a perfect ninth inning on Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays to earn his first save of the season. The 35-year-old only needed nine pitches to retire the side. Melancon's grip on the closer role is tightening, especially with Will Smith (COVID-19) still sidelined. Melancon should continue to see the lion's share of save opportunities for the foreseeable future.
