Rockies closer John Axford tossed a perfect ninth inning Wednesday against the Reds for his eighth save during a 6-4 win.
Axford opened the inning by getting Tucker Barnhart to fly out to right field. He then struck out Brandon Phillips before getting Billy Hamilton to ground out to end the game.
The veteran right-hander has not allowed a run in his last seven innings. He's given up just two runs and three walks in that span. Axford is a perfect 8 for 8 in save opportunities.
