White Sox reliever Zach Putnam picked up a save Saturday against the Blue Jays.
The White Sox said prior to the game that they would go with a committee approach at closer, and Putnam got the first chance to succeed. He entered the game to get an out in the eighth inning, and remained in the game for the ninth.
Putnam did run into some trouble during the outing. He allowed a leadoff double to begin the ninth, and followed it up with an RBI single to cut the team's lead to just one run. Putnam was then able to retire the last three hitters without an issue. He tossed 1 1/3 innings, allowing three hits and one run.
