Pirates closer Mark Melancon picked up his 18th save on Sunday, striking out two in a 1-2-3 ninth inning to finish off his team's 3-0 shutout of the Braves.
Melancon endured a shaky start to the season but has allowed just one earned run since April 21. He still hasn't managed to up his strikeout rate, with Sunday's two strikeouts representing his first outing with multiple strikeouts since the end of April. Melancon owns a 2.28 ERA and 15:5 K:BB ratio in 27 2/3 innings.
