Cardinals' Giovanny Gallegos: Converts 13th save

Gallegos pitched a perfect inning and struck out two to earn the save in an 8-5 win during the first game of Friday's doubleheader versus the Cubs.

Gallegos continues to thrive in the closer role, as he's converted 10 of his 11 save chances in September. While he's allowed five runs in 11.2 innings this month, four of those came in one appearances versus Milwaukee. The right-hander is up to 13 saves and 24 holds while logging a 3.14 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 93:18 K:BB through 77.1 innings overall. St. Louis has won 14 straight games and leads Philadelphia by five games for the last wild-card spot in the NL, so Gallegos will likely continue to be counted on as the primary closer.
