Reds closer Aroldis Chapman was called on to get Johnny Cueto out of a jam late Friday, in a 6-2 win over the Giants.
Chapman entered the game with one out in the ninth and runners on first and second, but was able to extricate himself from the problem quickly. He retired the first batter on a fielder's choice, and then ended the game with a strikeout, for his 16th save of the season.
Chapman needed just nine pitches to end the game, a good sign as he was working for the third straight day. He is now 16 for 17 on save chances, with a 2.38 ERA in 22 2/3 innings.
