Melancon tossed a clean inning while striking out a batter in a non-save situation against the Brewers on Monday.
The veteran closer has pitched well this season (2.20 ERA and 15.0 K/BB), but he hasn't seen a save opportunity since May 27. This is due to the Giants' general lack of wins, but in the games in which they are victorious, there simply haven't been many save situations generated. Melancon's average of 49 saves over his last two seasons appears to be out of reach, but the 32-year-old remains a consistent closing option even if he maintains his 30-save pace.
