Mark Melancon Slams The Door Again
4 years agoSan Diego Padres closer Mark Melancon gathered his 11th save Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Spotted a two-run advantage, the wily veteran required 11 pitches to retire the side while allowing a harmless single. Leading the majors in saves, Melancon owns a stellar 0.60 ERA, 0.47 WHIP and career-best 30 percent strikeout rate in 15 innings. He's also been perfect in closing chances. While there was some doubt this offseason about Melancon's role and diminishing skillset, his lights-out performance to-date has proven bountiful for fantasy managers that made the investment on draft day.
