Melancon picked up the save in Tuesday's 6-5 triumph against the Marlins, allowing a hit and striking out two in 1.1 innings.
Melancon entered in the eighth with the tying run on first base and struck out Jorge Alfaro on three pitches, then surrendered a leadoff double in the ninth before recording three straight outs to lock down his 34th save. An efficient 14 strikes on 18 pitches assisted the All-Star closer in delivering his first outing requiring more than three outs since May 12.
