Hill recorded the final five outs with one walk and two strikeouts to post his first save of the season in a 7-2 victory over the Marlins on Saturday.
Hill came in with two aboard and one out in the eighth inning and quickly induced a double play. After the Royals added an insurance run in the ninth to increase their lead to five, Ned Yost stuck with Hill for the ninth, where he retired three straight batters after a leadoff walk. Hill is 2-0 with seven holds, a 3.86 ERA, a 1.22 WHIP and 26 strikeouts in 30.1 innings this season.
