A's Turn to Mark Leiter Jr. to Earn Tuesday's Save
Athletics reliever Mark Leiter Jr. earned his first save of the season Tuesday against the Atlanta Braves, working through traffic to secure the win. Leiter Jr. allowed two hits in the inning but limited the damage, recording one strikeout and stranding both runners. The left-hander is in his first season with Oakland and is working to establish a role early. The 35-year-old has never recorded more than eight save opportunities in a season, but early success could create more chances. He has pitched 2 2/3 innings this year, allowing one run on five hits with one strikeout, and is beginning to emerge as an option in late innings.
