Pirates closer Mark Melancon picked up his 13th save Tuesday after giving up two earned runs on three hits in the ninth inning of his team's 6-5 win over the Rays.
The Pirates had a three-run lead when Melancon took the mound, and they wound up needing it, as he gave up a two-run single after a wild pitch put both of the previous batters to get a hit in scoring position. He's now surrendered three runs in his last two outings, but he delivered a save in each. Melancon owns a 2.48 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB ratio in 36 1/3 innings.
