Chapman earned a save against the Yankees on Thursday, allowing two hits and issuing one walk with no strikeouts over one scoreless inning.
Chapman was summoned to close things out with Boston up 6-3 in the ninth inning. The veteran closer had to sweat out the save, as the Yankees loaded the bases with two outs before Chapman retired Ben Rice on a game-ending groundout. Though it wasn't easy, the outing was a bounce-back after Chapman blew his first save his last time out, when he gave up three runs without retiring a batter against the Rockies. The fireballing lefty is up to 15 saves on the campaign, tied for ninth most in the majors, and has a 1.99 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB over 22.2 innings.
