Diamondbacks' Miller Secures Save, Rangers' Dunning Records Unique First

Shelby Miller secured a save for the Diamondbacks with a perfect inning against the Mets, maintaining his 0.00 ERA and stepping up in the absence of Justin Martinez, while Kevin Ginkel remains a viable closing option due to his past experience. Dane Dunning recorded his first career save for the Rangers in an unusual fashion, pitching the final three innings of a blowout win over the Athletics after returning from Triple-A, highlighting the quirk in MLB save rules. Both pitchers' performances underscore the evolving nature of bullpen roles and the opportunities that can arise due to injuries or specific game situations.
