Maurer picked up his 11th save of the season by retiring the final batter of Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Reds.
The Padres entered the ninth innings leading 6-0, but starter Clayton Richard ran into some late trouble and was chased from the game after allowing two runs to score on a Tucker Barnhart double. Phil Maton then entered the game but allowed a single to Billy Hamilton which prompted manager Andy Green to call upon his closer for the one-out save. Maurer promptly retired Scooter Gennett to earn his 11th save of the season. The 26-year-old's ERA currently sits at 6.39, so his job is far from secure at this point.
