Melancon picked up his fourth save while allowing three hits over 1.1 innings Friday at the Diamondbacks.
Melancon came on in the eighth inning to protect a two-run lead with a runner on base, and promptly gave up three straight hits, but fortunately only one run scored. He then came back in the ninth to set the Diamondbacks down in order to close out the victory. After allowing an earned run in his first appearance of the year, he now hasn't allowed an earned run over his last seven outings to lower his ERA to 1.17.
