Chafin snagged his first save of the season Tuesday night, striking out one in a scoreless inning of work to wrap up a 4-3 victory over Cleveland.
Summoned to protect a one-run lead in extra innings with a ghost runner behind him, Chafin needed just seven pitches to emerge from the high-leverage spot with his first save of the season. The self-described "failed starter" has been pretty dang successful since moving from the Cubs to the Athletics, as he has yet to allow a run or walk a batter in seven appearances with Oakland this season.
