Bard (5-5) blew a save chance Friday but ended up earning the win after allowing a run on two hits and two walks while striking out three over an inning against the Dodgers.
Bard entered in the ninth trying to protect a one-run lead. He allowed two singles and a walk to load the bases before walking Justin Turner to knot the game up. The right-hander would then go on to strike out the next three batters to get out of the jam and extend the game. The Rockies went on to score three runs in the 10th, giving Bard his fifth win of the year. The 36-year-old owns a 3.98 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, 53:20 K:BB and has 15 saves over 40.2 innings this year.
