Minter walked one and struck out two in a scoreless 11th inning Monday to pick up his fourth save of the season in a win over the Yankees.
Arodys Vizcaino (shoulder) is set to come off the disabled list Tuesday, returning Minter to a setup role, but the left-hander was effective while the Braves' closer was on the shelf, reeling off eight straight scoreless appearances and posting a 0.55 WHIP and 5:2 K:BB in 7.1 innings while converting both of his save opportunities. Should anything happen to Vizcaino down the road, Minter seems ready to step into the closer role on a regular basis.
