Tyler Phillips News: Earns rare save

Phillips threw a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays. He did not record a walk or strikeout.

Calvin Faucher was unavailable after tossing 22 pitches Saturday while Ronny Henriquez retired Vladimir Guerrero for the final out of the eighth inning, so Phillips was summoned for his second save opportunity of the season and shut the door on just six pitches. He now owns five holds and two saves this season along with a 3.27 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 41:19 K:BB across 63.1 innings, and both saves have come in the last month.
