Melancon (2-1) nailed down a 5-4 victory over the Phillies on Friday, giving up a walk over an inning and striking out two.
The closer got the victory when Trea Turner blasted a 432-foot game-winning shot in the home half of the ninth after Melancon labored through a 21-pitch inning. Despite the elevated pitch count, it was a solid bounce-back performance for the 31-year-old, who gave up three earned runs over his prior two appearances. Melancon has a stellar 1.67 ERA and 54:12 K:BB on the season, and his 39 saves are the second-highest total of his career in that category.
