Edwards tossed a perfect ninth with a strikeout for his first career save Thursday against the Giants.
Aroldis Chapman had pitched three straight days, so the Cubs turned to Edwards in the ninth and he got the job done. The rookie's been absolutely outstanding in the majors this year, having allowed just 20 baserunners in 26.2 innings. Take away his outlier five-run disaster against the Cardinals in mid-August and you're left with just four runs in a span of 26 innings -- a 1.38 ERA. He's not likely to see many more save chances, though.
