Melancon allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits (one home run) while walking none and striking out one in one inning as he blew his second save of the season in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Padres.
Melancon blew his first save on Opening Day and had then tossed eight scoreless outings, including five saves, before his blowup against the Friars. The right-hander allowed a two-run homer to pinch hitter Hector Sanchez. It's not the start Melancon's owners were hoping for, but the season is still young, and the Giants will give him plenty of rope. He remains one of the more attractive fantasy firemen for the long haul.
