Bryan Abreu was called on for the final out in a 2-1 win over the Twins on Tuesday.
AI Summary
Bryan Abreu earned his third save of the season by recording the final out in a 2-1 victory over the Twins on Tuesday, striking out Byron Buxton with runners in scoring position after entering in the ninth inning.
Bryan King started the ninth inning after throwing nine pitches in the eighth. He retired the first two batters of the final frame before allowing a single to Orlando Arcia that forced him out of the game. Abreu came in and promptly hit Luke Keaschall and then threw a wild pitch to get runners on second and third. However, he responded by getting Byron Buxton to foul out to third base to end the game and secure his third save of the season. It hasn't been easy, but Abreu is pitching better of late and is clearly back in the saves mix until Josh Hader returns in a few weeks.
