Diamondbacks pitcher Silvino Bracho notched his first career MLB save with a scoreless ninth inning in Thursday's 8-6 win over the Rockies.
The Diamondbacks have used different closers the last two games while regular ninth-inning man Brad Ziegler has been away from the team in anticipation for the birth of his daughter. After Daniel Hudson received the call Wednesday, manager Chip Hale entrusted the ninth inning to Bracho, who has been fantastic for the Diamondbacks since his Aug. 30 call-up. In 12 innings, the right-hander has struck out 17 batters and walked only four while generating a 1.50 ERA. He's making a strong case to receive consideration for a full-time role with the Diamondbacks in 2016.
