Tim Melville Earns First MLB Win
5 years agoColorado Rockies pitcher Tim Melville got the call at 11 o'clock on Tuesday night that informed him that the team needed him in Arizona on Wednesday to start against the Diamondbacks. Melville showed up ready to work. Melville tossed seven innings of one-run ball against the Diamondbacks to earn his first MLB win. Melville started this season without a baseball job, cooking at a barbecue joint in Phoenix instead. He then pitched in the Independent League, got picked up by the Rockies and pitched acceptably well in Triple-A, and is now a winning MLB pitcher. Melville's stats don't imply that any type of long-term success is in his future, but he'll have a heck of a story.
