Melancon allowed one run on one hit and one walk over one inning, but still earned his 11th save of the season Sunday at the Cubs.
Melancon was fortunate that he was provided a two-run lead, as he gave up two consecutive baserunners to start the ninth inning, and after allowing a run, he induced a groundout to leave a runner stranded in scoring position. He's now converted seven straight save opportunities, and his ERA is at 3.00.
