Melancon allowed a hit but recorded one out to nail down a 11-9 barnburner against the Braves on Saturday.
He came into the game with a three-run cushion and two outs in the ninth, but runners were already on second and third. The first batter he faced singled, which brought the Braves within two, but Melancon induced a popup against the next batter to end the game. Melancon is 36-for-39 in save opportunities with a 1.41 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 48 strikeouts in 51.0 innings this season.
