3 years agoSan Diego Padres closer Mark Melancon fired a perfect ninth inning Tuesday against the Cincinnati Reds to collect his major league-leading 25th save. The 36-year-old veteran has endured some bumps recently, slogging to a 4.22 ERA in June, but he managed his second consecutive pain-free outing. Melancon has continued to be a jackpot for fantasy managers, sporting a 1.80 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 22 percent strikeout rate in 34 outings. Even with reliever Drew Pomeranz off the injured list, Melancon's door-slamming role is secure.--Andrew Le - RotoBaller
