Pirates temporary closer Mark Melancon not only blew a save and took the loss Thursday in Milwaukee. He couldn't even register an out.
Melancon surrendered a single and two walks before a Khris Davis two-run single closed out a 4-3 defeat. Melancon had nailed down his previous four save opportunities, but has yielded at least one baserunner in six of his last seven appearances.
He will give the role away upon the impending return of Jason Grilli.
