Chapman collected the save in Boston's 6-4 win over San Francisco on Friday, allowing one walk while striking out three batters in a scoreless ninth inning.
Chapman was brought out for the ninth frame for his first save chance since Aug. 1 against the Dodgers. His walk to Buddy Kennedy was Chapman's only blemish, as he got the other batters he faced to strike out swinging, the fourth time that the veteran southpaw has logged three strikeouts in an outing. It was only the second save that Chapman has recorded in August, but his 28 saves on the year are tied with Louis Varland and Jhoan Duran for sixth-most in the majors. Chapman sports a 1.90 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 65:8 K:BB over 46.1 innings this season.
